00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:04.120
Hey, Joel Malcolm for WJNO dot com, and we have
2
00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:09.839
Making Strides against Breast Cancer. Uh it is the Making

00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:13.119
Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk of Palm Beach County and

00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:18.039
it is set for Saturday, October twenty six in Boca
5
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:21.440
Ratona at the Sunset Cove Amphitheater. And speaking to us
6
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:25.199
on this subject and of course h October being the
7
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:30.120
Breast Cancer Awareness Month, is Lindsey Bennett, Senior Development Manager
8
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:34.039
for the American Cancer Society of Palm Beach County. Thank
9
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:34.719
you for joining me.
10
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:37.719
Thank you so much for having me. What an honor
11
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:38.240
to be here.
12
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:43.159
Now let's uh, let's get some information on Let's get
13
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.159
on the on the walk first and then I want to,
14
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.399
you know, get a little more about this specific effort
15
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:52.560
because there are a lot of different events to benefit
16
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:56.359
different types of cancer or whatnot. So I want to
17
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.520
I want to maybe talk about the differences and basically
18
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.759
cut cut into everything if we can. You got it, Yeah, absolutely,
19
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:05.640
So the walk first of all, I got the date
20
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:09.560
right right, Saturday October twenty six at eight. Absolutely, that's
21
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:13.040
when our gates open. We have some entertainment, we have
22
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:18.439
amazing sponsors from across the area who have fun things for.
23
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:22.359
People to do. We do a breakfast for our survivors,
24
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.920
thrivers and caregivers, so definitely we want to see out there.
25
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.640
If you're a cancer survivor or thriver or a caregiver,
26
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.760
we'd love for you to register on our website making strides,
27
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:38.280
walk dot org, backslash Palm Beach, fl because when you
28
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:40.879
register as a survivor or thriver, we're going to send
29
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.439
you a free T shirt, so we want you to
30
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:46.239
do that, and then we do a great ribbon cutting
31
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.519
at nine the walk starts. It's a five k so
32
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.560
that's about three miles and it is so much fun
33
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.000
and it's so moving to look out and for this
34
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:01.239
particular walk, see that sea of pink and that nobody
35
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:03.280
is walking alone in their cancer journey.
36
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:05.920
I think it's great that it's a walk because we
37
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.560
hear about, you know, some of these runs and races
38
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:11.080
and stuff, and I just get winded thinking about that.
39
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:12.599
You know, a walk, is it?
40
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:17.719
Absolutely? And listen, we have people who run. We're encouraging
41
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.000
runners to come if you want to leave a little
42
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:22.520
bit early before nine so you don't have to worry
43
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.960
about some people like me that might be flower walkers
44
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:27.840
in front of you if you want to get that
45
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:31.360
good five k time. Also, if your friends and family
46
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.199
want to walk and you don't feel like you're up
47
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:36.360
to it, hang out in the in the event area.
48
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.520
We're not kicking anybody out. We'll have music going, We'll
49
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:43.000
have more entertainment during the walk, So there's plenty to
50
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.280
do if a five k just isn't in your wheelhouse.
51
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:50.319
And you know, October twenty sixth, we're getting towards the
52
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.560
latter part obviously, in the latter part of the month,
53
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:55.479
and maybe temperatures start cooling off a degree or two
54
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:57.520
at least, you know, maybe maybe a little bit more
55
00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:59.639
if we're lucky. Is that why you kind of schedule
56
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:00.680
this lay later in the month.
57
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.919
Absolutely. We also want to have that whole month to
58
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:09.639
really focus on getting the word out on our fundraising efforts.
59
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:14.280
Last year, we raised over three hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
60
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.479
so that's our goal again this year. I know we
61
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:19.960
can do it Palm Beach County, but that gives us
62
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.080
a little bit more time to run it up. Also,
63
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:24.719
we wanted to get past the holidays that are coming
64
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:28.599
up in October this year, so everybody has time to
65
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.680
celebrate with their friends, with their families, and then they
66
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:34.199
can come out and celebrate with us and our making
67
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:35.159
strides community.
68
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.319
Now what is I know this is an annual thing.
69
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:41.479
How many years has this walk been going on in
70
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:42.759
Palm Beach County?
71
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.919
In Palm Beach County, So looking back, we used to
72
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.560
actually have two walks. Right now we have one county
73
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:51.240
wide walk.
74
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.479
I thought I remembered, I thought I remember there being
75
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.080
the It wasn't just in Boca. I thought there was
76
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.479
wonder Moll around right right, Yeah, there.
77
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.840
Was one in West tom and in South County. We
78
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.840
have really fallen in love with Sunset covid Amphitheater, with
79
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.080
working with the Palm Beach County Parks Department. They are
80
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:13.560
truly amazing partners of ours and we're just there until
81
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:15.560
we outgrow it. Right, So if we want to go
82
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.879
back to two walks in Palm Beach County, we just
83
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:20.879
got to grow it until it's too big and then
84
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:23.720
we have to split it up. But that does give
85
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.439
us the whole month to get the word out, to
86
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.639
get everybody there, to wrap our arms around all of
87
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.240
Palm Beach County. I grew up here. I grew up
88
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:34.360
in Palm Beach County, and so I know it's a
89
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.319
big old county for us to wrap our arms around
90
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:37.839
and make sure everybody knows about.
91
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:40.240
It, right, And I know making Strides against Breast Cancer
92
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.480
since ninety three has been doing events across the country.
93
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:44.160
Do we when?
94
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.360
Right? Did you start here locally? So?
95
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.560
Yeah, thank you. So I believed it was about twenty
96
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:54.879
years ago that we started making strides in Palm Beach County,
97
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:56.839
So we've been going for a while.
98
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:03.399
Let me get a little more on the specific You know,
99
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:06.600
American Cancer Society, there are different walks too, right, Is
100
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:11.240
this the only walk specifically for American Cancer Society.
101
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:14.240
No, the American Cancer Society. One thing that makes us
102
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:18.560
different is we cover all cancers. We cover the entire
103
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:26.040
journey of cancer from screening, prevention, detection. So we want
104
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.240
to cover every step of that journey and all cancers.
105
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.879
So also in the spring, we do our Relay for Life,
106
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.560
which is a walk. It's a little bit different Relay
107
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:40.560
for Life. We have teams who come. Sometimes it's a
108
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:44.360
corporate team, sometimes it's school teams, friends, family get together
109
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:48.680
and somebody from that team is on our track. Walking
110
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:52.480
the whole time of the event, so like three o'clock
111
00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:55.079
in the afternoon till nine to ten o'clock at night,
112
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:59.000
again symbolizing that nobody is walking in their cancer journey
113
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:02.160
alone and they get people to support them in that
114
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:06.600
walking effort. Across the country, we have what are called
115
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:11.519
determination events that might give back to a specific cancer
116
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:14.879
or they might just specifically be giving back in general
117
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:19.480
to the American Cancer Society, and those can be triathlons,
118
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:24.120
rock climbing, anything really that you say, hey, we've got
119
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:29.000
this great sports community here, we should do this. And
120
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:31.680
we do a lot of stuff for our Gold Together,
121
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:36.800
which of course covers childhood cancer. We just want to
122
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:41.639
bring awareness to everybody. We don't want anybody to feel like, oh, well,
123
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:44.480
that's not my cancer, so I don't belong you belong
124
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:45.959
with us no matter what.
125
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:53.279
Let's talk about breast cancer, of the breast cancer itself
126
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:58.000
and the dangers of it. And I know that your
127
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:03.439
cause here has raided around a billion nationwide since ninety three,
128
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:08.600
which is just amazing. Right when we talk about the strides,
129
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:12.480
how good are the strides that have been made as
130
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:16.120
far as declines in death rates a breast Cannac. I
131
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:19.079
hate talking about this stuff, but I know important to
132
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:21.439
know where somebody's money and efforts are going right.
133
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:25.600
But it is absolutely absolutely So that's one thing that
134
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:29.000
I do like to say is I am very lucky
135
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:30.800
because I do know where our money is going right.
136
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.839
My mom is actually a two time breast cancer survivor,
137
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:37.480
and we've seen research that came out of the American
138
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:41.920
Cancer Society with tamoxifen with her specific kind of cancer,
139
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.920
knowing that it was a recurring type and was destined
140
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.360
to come back after twenty years, and it did, but
141
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:52.079
she was ready, she was prepared. So the American Cancer
142
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:56.680
Society has helped make great strides in breast cancer. We
143
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:00.319
have seen the death rate decline, which is that's right,
144
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:05.800
that's earlier detection, better screening, so not just getting people in,
145
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:09.279
but then the screenings that people are getting are better,
146
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:13.519
their higher quality, it's better screenings everywhere that it doesn't
147
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.120
matter where you live. You don't have to live in
148
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:19.240
a giant city right next to a huge cancer center
149
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:23.439
to get a quality mamogram or ultrasound. And so we
150
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:26.920
have seen that death rate decline. What we're seeing right
151
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:30.560
now though, is we are seeing a little bit of
152
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.440
an uptick about one to two percent a year in
153
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:38.000
younger women being diagnosed with breast cancer. We don't know
154
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:41.559
why yet. We're working on that. That's a huge study
155
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:44.159
that we're doing right now to try and figure that out.
156
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:48.039
But we all have to be mindful of our bodies
157
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.720
and pay attention, and sometimes we have to be our
158
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.159
own advocates and go into a doctor and say, hey,
159
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:55.279
something's not right, I need a mammogram.
160
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:59.440
Are there any walk working theories going on regarding that?
161
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:02.879
I know we always hear about, you know, food and whatnot.
162
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.600
I mean, is there any working theory that you've heard
163
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:07.399
of potentially is not?
164
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.200
Not yet? Not yet? Like I said, the American Cancer Society,
165
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:17.200
we're so data fact driven, so we'll definitely figure that out,
166
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:20.960
you know, we earlier this year we also released data
167
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:24.759
for our collorectal cancer that we're seeing that sort of
168
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:29.159
in younger patients as well. We will figure out why,
169
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:32.200
just like the American Cancer Society figured out the link
170
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:36.279
of smoking and lung cancer. We will not rest until
171
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:39.399
we figure it out. But right now, what we can
172
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.320
do is say, hey, make sure you're doing your self
173
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:47.720
breast exams every month, ladies and gentlemen, everybody should be
174
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:50.759
paying attention and then make sure that you have a
175
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:52.399
doctor that you're comfortable talking to.
176
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:55.480
I think that is interesting that you did say that, gentleman,
177
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:59.519
because I think I think it is less known that
178
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:02.279
men I can and do get breast cancer. I think
179
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:04.879
the odds are I mean, obviously I would assume that
180
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:09.080
the numbers are considerably lower in.
181
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:15.000
Men, but absolutely every year. So this year, where we
182
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:19.120
are estimating three hundred and ten thousand women will be
183
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:23.120
diagnosed with breast cancer and twenty seven hundred men will
184
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:26.279
be diagnosed with breast cancer, it's just as important of
185
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:30.559
those twenty seven hundred men and their families though, So gentlemen,
186
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.480
you have to pay attention. You can't say like, oh,
187
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:35.720
I'm a dude, so I don't have to worry about
188
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:40.080
my chest area. You do men die from breast cancer.
189
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:41.879
I think a lot of men who die from breast
190
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:44.120
cancer it might be because they didn't know to look
191
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:47.799
for it until it was too late. So pay attention.
192
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:50.080
You got a weird pain, you have a little lump,
193
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:53.799
you have some redness, pay attention, be your own advocate,
194
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:55.080
talk to your doctor.
195
00:10:55.200 --> 00:11:01.000
And would you recommend a man get the traditional mammogram, so.
196
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.039
You sometimes it's a little different, and it might just
197
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:06.080
be an ultrasound just because of the breast tissue, there
198
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:09.799
is a little bit different. I get an ultrasound along
199
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:12.919
with my mammogram every year because my mom is a survivor.
200
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.600
So find the right doctor that's prepared for that. In
201
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.720
Palmeage County, we are spoiled for choice for amazing medical care.
202
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:24.480
So you can absolutely find somebody. If you don't know
203
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:27.279
where to start, call our one eight hundred number. The
204
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:30.879
American Cancer Society has a one eight hundred number twenty
205
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:34.000
four to seven three sixty five. It's one eight hundred
206
00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:37.840
two two seven two three four five, and they can
207
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:40.600
help you find a provider that might specialize in male
208
00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:41.279
breast cancer.
209
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:44.279
Yeah, and I see here breast cancer death rates just
210
00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:47.360
kind of going back a couple of topics, declining by
211
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:51.679
forty three percent since nineteen eighty nine, two years after
212
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:53.960
I graduated high school. But you know, I just thought
213
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:56.879
I throw that in there. But you know, improvements and
214
00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:59.720
treatment and earlier detection then probably you know, folks like
215
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:03.000
yourself getting the word out to get screened and the
216
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:06.919
five year survival rate for breast cancer that hasn't already
217
00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:09.879
spread to the lymph nodes around the location ninety nine percent.
218
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:12.399
So this is these are pretty.
219
00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:16.240
Huge, huge, right, that's huge that you know. When the
220
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.799
American Cancer Society started in nineteen thirteen, cancer was kind
221
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.519
of a death sentence, right, and you kind of whispered
222
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:26.879
about it, and doctor sent you home to make you comfortable,
223
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:30.480
like there was no other discussion, and a group of
224
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:34.320
regular people and one doctor said this has to change,
225
00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:37.960
and they started the American Cancer Society. We are a
226
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:44.039
volunteer led and driven organization. I was a volunteer for
227
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:46.600
a very long time before this position opened up, and
228
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.799
I said that's where I belong. So it's not just me, right,
229
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:53.759
it's everybody who's listening, who says I want to get involved,
230
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.360
who says I want to join that committee, I want
231
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:59.679
to come to that walk. I want to tell my friends, like, hey,
232
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.600
all schedule our mammograms and then go get brunch. You know,
233
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:07.519
it's important that we take care of ourselves. We're all
234
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.120
so busy with family, with work, with the million other
235
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:13.960
things that life has for us. Now we have to
236
00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:16.799
make time for ourselves and our health and make sure
237
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:20.639
that we're going to be here. That five year death
238
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.240
rate going down, that survival rate going up, it's such
239
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:27.480
a huge number. It's amazing. It doesn't have to be
240
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:32.399
that sentence anymore. Right, Let's know that we can go
241
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:33.279
in and we can fight.
242
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:37.240
Right, it's Making Strides against Breast Cancer of Palm Beach
243
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:39.639
County Walk and it is happening again in Boca at
244
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.919
Sunset Cove Amphitheater on the morning of Saturday, October twenty sixth.
245
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:46.559
One more question for you, Lindsay, let's say somebody really
246
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:49.320
wants to help but they just can't make it. Is
247
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:50.879
there still a way that they can help?
248
00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:56.039

that chest region too.
261
00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:36.480
Yeah, I'm gonna be looking at myself in the mirror

on the on the walk first and then I want to,

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.399
you know, get a little more about this specific effort
15
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:52.560
because there are a lot of different events to benefit
16
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:56.359
different types of cancer or whatnot. So I want to
17
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.520
I want to maybe talk about the differences and basically
18
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.759
cut cut into everything if we can. You got it, Yeah, absolutely,
19
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:05.640
So the walk first of all, I got the date
20
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:09.560
right right, Saturday October twenty six at eight. Absolutely, that's
21
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:13.040
when our gates open. We have some entertainment, we have
22
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:18.439
amazing sponsors from across the area who have fun things for.
23
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:22.359
People to do. We do a breakfast for our survivors,
24
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.920
thrivers and caregivers, so definitely we want to see out there.
25
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.640
If you're a cancer survivor or thriver or a caregiver,
26
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.760
we'd love for you to register on our website making strides,
27
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:38.280
walk dot org, backslash Palm Beach, fl because when you
28
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:40.879
register as a survivor or thriver, we're going to send
29
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.439
you a free T shirt, so we want you to
30
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:46.239
do that, and then we do a great ribbon cutting
31
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.519
at nine the walk starts. It's a five k so
32
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.560
that's about three miles and it is so much fun
33
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.000
and it's so moving to look out and for this
34
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:01.239
particular walk, see that sea of pink and that nobody
35
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:03.280
is walking alone in their cancer journey.
36
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:05.920
I think it's great that it's a walk because we
37
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.560
hear about, you know, some of these runs and races
38
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:11.080
and stuff, and I just get winded thinking about that.
39
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:12.599
You know, a walk, is it?
40
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:17.719
Absolutely? And listen, we have people who run. We're encouraging
41
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.000
runners to come if you want to leave a little
42
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:22.520
bit early before nine so you don't have to worry
43
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.960
about some people like me that might be flower walkers
44
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:27.840
in front of you if you want to get that
45
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:31.360
good five k time. Also, if your friends and family
46
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.199
want to walk and you don't feel like you're up
47
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:36.360
to it, hang out in the in the event area.
48
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.520
We're not kicking anybody out. We'll have music going, We'll
49
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:43.000
have more entertainment during the walk, So there's plenty to
50
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.280
do if a five k just isn't in your wheelhouse.
51
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:50.319
And you know, October twenty sixth, we're getting towards the
52
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.560
latter part obviously, in the latter part of the month,
53
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:55.479
and maybe temperatures start cooling off a degree or two
54
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:57.520
at least, you know, maybe maybe a little bit more
55
00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:59.639
if we're lucky. Is that why you kind of schedule
56
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:00.680
this lay later in the month.
57
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.919
Absolutely. We also want to have that whole month to
58
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:09.639
really focus on getting the word out on our fundraising efforts.
59
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:14.280
Last year, we raised over three hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
60
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.479
so that's our goal again this year. I know we
61
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:19.960
can do it Palm Beach County, but that gives us
62
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.080
a little bit more time to run it up. Also,
63
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:24.719
we wanted to get past the holidays that are coming
64
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:28.599
up in October this year, so everybody has time to
65
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.680
celebrate with their friends, with their families, and then they
66
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:34.199
can come out and celebrate with us and our making
67
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:35.159
strides community.
68
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.319
Now what is I know this is an annual thing.
69
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:41.479
How many years has this walk been going on in
70
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:42.759
Palm Beach County?
71
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.919
In Palm Beach County, So looking back, we used to
72
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.560
actually have two walks. Right now we have one county
73
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:51.240
wide walk.
74
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.479
I thought I remembered, I thought I remember there being
75
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.080
the It wasn't just in Boca. I thought there was
76
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.479
wonder Moll around right right, Yeah, there.
77
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.840
Was one in West tom and in South County. We
78
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.840
have really fallen in love with Sunset covid Amphitheater, with
79
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.080
working with the Palm Beach County Parks Department. They are
80
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:13.560
truly amazing partners of ours and we're just there until
81
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:15.560
we outgrow it. Right, So if we want to go
82
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.879
back to two walks in Palm Beach County, we just
83
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:20.879
got to grow it until it's too big and then
84
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:23.720
we have to split it up. But that does give
85
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.439
us the whole month to get the word out, to
86
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.639
get everybody there, to wrap our arms around all of
87
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.240
Palm Beach County. I grew up here. I grew up
88
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:34.360
in Palm Beach County, and so I know it's a
89
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.319
big old county for us to wrap our arms around
90
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:37.839
and make sure everybody knows about.
91
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:40.240
It, right, And I know making Strides against Breast Cancer
92
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.480
since ninety three has been doing events across the country.
93
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:44.160
Do we when?
94
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.360
Right? Did you start here locally? So?
95
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.560
Yeah, thank you. So I believed it was about twenty
96
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:54.879
years ago that we started making strides in Palm Beach County,
97
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:56.839
So we've been going for a while.
98
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:03.399
Let me get a little more on the specific You know,
99
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:06.600
American Cancer Society, there are different walks too, right, Is
100
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:11.240
this the only walk specifically for American Cancer Society.
101
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:14.240
No, the American Cancer Society. One thing that makes us
102
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:18.560
different is we cover all cancers. We cover the entire
103
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:26.040
journey of cancer from screening, prevention, detection. So we want
104
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.240
to cover every step of that journey and all cancers.
105
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.879
So also in the spring, we do our Relay for Life,
106
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.560
which is a walk. It's a little bit different Relay
107
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:40.560
for Life. We have teams who come. Sometimes it's a
108
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:44.360
corporate team, sometimes it's school teams, friends, family get together
109
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:48.680
and somebody from that team is on our track. Walking
110
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:52.480
the whole time of the event, so like three o'clock
111
00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:55.079
in the afternoon till nine to ten o'clock at night,
112
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:59.000
again symbolizing that nobody is walking in their cancer journey
113
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:02.160
alone and they get people to support them in that
114
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:06.600
walking effort. Across the country, we have what are called
115
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:11.519
determination events that might give back to a specific cancer
116
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:14.879
or they might just specifically be giving back in general
117
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:19.480
to the American Cancer Society, and those can be triathlons,
118
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:24.120
rock climbing, anything really that you say, hey, we've got
119
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:29.000
this great sports community here, we should do this. And
120
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:31.680
we do a lot of stuff for our Gold Together,
121
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:36.800
which of course covers childhood cancer. We just want to
122
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:41.639
bring awareness to everybody. We don't want anybody to feel like, oh, well,
123
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:44.480
that's not my cancer, so I don't belong you belong
124
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:45.959
with us no matter what.
125
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:53.279
Let's talk about breast cancer, of the breast cancer itself
126
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:58.000
and the dangers of it. And I know that your
127
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:03.439
cause here has raided around a billion nationwide since ninety three,
128
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:08.600
which is just amazing. Right when we talk about the strides,
129
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:12.480
how good are the strides that have been made as
130
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:16.120
far as declines in death rates a breast Cannac. I
131
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:19.079
hate talking about this stuff, but I know important to
132
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:21.439
know where somebody's money and efforts are going right.
133
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:25.600
But it is absolutely absolutely So that's one thing that
134
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:29.000
I do like to say is I am very lucky
135
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:30.800
because I do know where our money is going right.
136
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.839
My mom is actually a two time breast cancer survivor,
137
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:37.480
and we've seen research that came out of the American
138
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:41.920
Cancer Society with tamoxifen with her specific kind of cancer,
139
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.920
knowing that it was a recurring type and was destined
140
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.360
to come back after twenty years, and it did, but
141
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:52.079
she was ready, she was prepared. So the American Cancer
142
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:56.680
Society has helped make great strides in breast cancer. We
143
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:00.319
have seen the death rate decline, which is that's right,
144
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:05.800
that's earlier detection, better screening, so not just getting people in,
145
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:09.279
but then the screenings that people are getting are better,
146
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:13.519
their higher quality, it's better screenings everywhere that it doesn't
147
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.120
matter where you live. You don't have to live in
148
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:19.240
a giant city right next to a huge cancer center
149
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:23.439
to get a quality mamogram or ultrasound. And so we
150
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:26.920
have seen that death rate decline. What we're seeing right
151
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:30.560
now though, is we are seeing a little bit of
152
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.440
an uptick about one to two percent a year in
153
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:38.000
younger women being diagnosed with breast cancer. We don't know
154
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:41.559
why yet. We're working on that. That's a huge study
155
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:44.159
that we're doing right now to try and figure that out.
156
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:48.039
But we all have to be mindful of our bodies
157
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.720
and pay attention, and sometimes we have to be our
158
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.159
own advocates and go into a doctor and say, hey,
159
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:55.279
something's not right, I need a mammogram.
160
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:59.440
Are there any walk working theories going on regarding that?
161
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:02.879
I know we always hear about, you know, food and whatnot.
162
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.600
I mean, is there any working theory that you've heard
163
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:07.399
of potentially is not?
164
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.200
Not yet? Not yet? Like I said, the American Cancer Society,
165
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:17.200
we're so data fact driven, so we'll definitely figure that out,
166
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:20.960
you know, we earlier this year we also released data
167
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:24.759
for our collorectal cancer that we're seeing that sort of
168
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:29.159
in younger patients as well. We will figure out why,
169
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:32.200
just like the American Cancer Society figured out the link
170
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:36.279
of smoking and lung cancer. We will not rest until
171
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:39.399
we figure it out. But right now, what we can
172
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.320
do is say, hey, make sure you're doing your self
173
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:47.720
breast exams every month, ladies and gentlemen, everybody should be
174
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:50.759
paying attention and then make sure that you have a
175
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:52.399
doctor that you're comfortable talking to.
176
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:55.480
I think that is interesting that you did say that, gentleman,
177
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:59.519
because I think I think it is less known that
178
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:02.279
men I can and do get breast cancer. I think
179
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:04.879
the odds are I mean, obviously I would assume that
180
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:09.080
the numbers are considerably lower in.
181
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:15.000
Men, but absolutely every year. So this year, where we
182
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:19.120
are estimating three hundred and ten thousand women will be
183
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:23.120
diagnosed with breast cancer and twenty seven hundred men will
184
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:26.279
be diagnosed with breast cancer, it's just as important of
185
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:30.559
those twenty seven hundred men and their families though, So gentlemen,
186
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.480
you have to pay attention. You can't say like, oh,
187
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:35.720
I'm a dude, so I don't have to worry about
188
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:40.080
my chest area. You do men die from breast cancer.
189
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:41.879
I think a lot of men who die from breast
190
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:44.120
cancer it might be because they didn't know to look
191
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:47.799
for it until it was too late. So pay attention.
192
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:50.080
You got a weird pain, you have a little lump,
193
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:53.799
you have some redness, pay attention, be your own advocate,
194
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:55.080
talk to your doctor.
195
00:10:55.200 --> 00:11:01.000
And would you recommend a man get the traditional mammogram, so.
196
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.039
You sometimes it's a little different, and it might just
197
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:06.080
be an ultrasound just because of the breast tissue, there
198
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:09.799
is a little bit different. I get an ultrasound along
199
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:12.919
with my mammogram every year because my mom is a survivor.
200
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.600
So find the right doctor that's prepared for that. In
201
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.720
Palmeage County, we are spoiled for choice for amazing medical care.
202
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:24.480
So you can absolutely find somebody. If you don't know
203
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:27.279
where to start, call our one eight hundred number. The
204
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:30.879
American Cancer Society has a one eight hundred number twenty
205
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:34.000
four to seven three sixty five. It's one eight hundred
206
00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:37.840
two two seven two three four five, and they can
207
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:40.600
help you find a provider that might specialize in male
208
00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:41.279
breast cancer.
209
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:44.279
Yeah, and I see here breast cancer death rates just
210
00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:47.360
kind of going back a couple of topics, declining by
211
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:51.679
forty three percent since nineteen eighty nine, two years after
212
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:53.960
I graduated high school. But you know, I just thought
213
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:56.879
I throw that in there. But you know, improvements and
214
00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:59.720
treatment and earlier detection then probably you know, folks like
215
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:03.000
yourself getting the word out to get screened and the
216
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:06.919
five year survival rate for breast cancer that hasn't already
217
00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:09.879
spread to the lymph nodes around the location ninety nine percent.
218
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:12.399
So this is these are pretty.
219
00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:16.240
Huge, huge, right, that's huge that you know. When the
220
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.799
American Cancer Society started in nineteen thirteen, cancer was kind
221
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.519
of a death sentence, right, and you kind of whispered
222
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:26.879
about it, and doctor sent you home to make you comfortable,
223
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:30.480
like there was no other discussion, and a group of
224
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:34.320
regular people and one doctor said this has to change,
225
00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:37.960
and they started the American Cancer Society. We are a
226
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:44.039
volunteer led and driven organization. I was a volunteer for
227
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:46.600
a very long time before this position opened up, and
228
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.799
I said that's where I belong. So it's not just me, right,
229
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:53.759
it's everybody who's listening, who says I want to get involved,
230
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.360
who says I want to join that committee, I want
231
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:59.679
to come to that walk. I want to tell my friends, like, hey,
232
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.600
all schedule our mammograms and then go get brunch. You know,
233
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:07.519
it's important that we take care of ourselves. We're all
234
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.120
so busy with family, with work, with the million other
235
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:13.960
things that life has for us. Now we have to
236
00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:16.799
