A breast cancer foundation dedicated to helping people impacted by breast cancer in the Hudson Valley, NY
关于我们
The Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation was established in 2004 to fund support services for people affected by breast cancer in the Hudson Valley. The Foundation was started by Dana Effron and Cathy Varunok, two community activists who saw a need for increased services for people with breast cancer.
For years, Dana and Cathy raised money for national breast cancer organizations but in 2004 they decided to focus their fundraising efforts on helping their friends and neighbors in Columbia County, Dutchess County, Putnam County, Westchester County, Rockland County, Orange County, Ulster County, Greene County, and Sullivan County.
We are a public charity and therefore raise money throughout the year to fund our programs and grants. The two major fundraisers are: the Miles of Hope Spring Brunch in May; and our signature event, the Community Breast Cancer Walk at James Baird State Park off of the Taconic State Parkway in Pleasant Valley, NY in September/October.
All funds raised in the Hudson Valley are used to support programs in the Hudson Valley. Some of the current programs funded by the Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation include:
Medical Gap Care Fund for individuals who are faced with life emergencies and/or costs not covered by health insurance while they are undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
Complementary Medicine – this includes funding of massage therapy, Reiki, acupuncture, music therapy, exercise/dance, and art therapy programs to enhance recovery.
Scholarships for college-bound high school seniors whose lives have been affected by breast cancer. Scholarships are given in all nine counties.
Peer-to-Peer – a program uniting recently diagnosed breast cancer patients with trained survivors.
That is who we are on paper, but who are we really when it comes down to flesh and bone instead of facts and figures? As the lone

???? 2024 brought groundbreaking breast cancer research focused on personalized treatments. For some, it’s about de-escalating care—using fewer meds at lower doses while still fighting cancer effectively. For others, it’s about enhancing regimens to avoid chemo and its toxic effects. Researchers also tackled side effect relief, health disparities, fertility, childbirth, and better screening methods. ? Check out the year’s key findings! https://lnkd.in/e4PXAYpD
