The annual Susan G. Komen 3-Day Breast Cancer walk is fast approaching - it will be held August 6-8 in Chicago. This 3-day, 60-mile walk is a great way to raise awareness and support the fight against breast cancer. NCHPAD is still recruiting for the All Abilities Team, which consists of participants with and without disabilities. If you want to join and show your support for this amazing cause, please contact Melissa McCall at 312-355-4540 or mmccal1@uic.edu.
