NEW YORK (WABC) -- Thousands joined Stacey Sager on Long Island on Sunday for one of many Making Strides walks across the Tri-State in the fight against cancer.

Making Strides has always been more than just a walk; it's a movement raising lifesaving funds that support breast cancer patients, survivors, thrivers, and caregivers through every step of the journey.
