The Merrimack Supports Making Strides Of NH In Fight Against Breast Cancer

CONCORD, NH — Merrimack County Savings Bank (The Merrimack) continues to support the ongoing fight against breast cancer with a $10,000 sponsorship to Making Strides of New Hampshire.

This is The Merrimack’s 10th year as the Survivor Place Sponsor, a tent where survivors and thrivers can unite, at the walk on Sunday, Oct. 26, at Memorial Field in Concord.

“Making Strides is more than just a walk, it brings the community together to honor our loved ones affected by cancer,” Linda Lorden, the president of The Merrimack, said. “By participating, you’re not only helping fund research, you’re directly supporting local survivors and their family members.”

Making Strides is the nation’s largest and most impactful breast cancer fundraiser walk. Last year, New Hampshire supporters raised over $500,000 to help the American Cancer Society fund the future of breast cancer research and programs.

“This movement would not be possible without the generosity of our local businesses and organizations,” said Nancy Mathis, Senior Development Manager at the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of New Hampshire. “Over the years, The Merrimack has been a steadfast supporter — contributing more than $100,000 to help patients, survivors, thrivers, and caregivers through every step of the journey.”

Making Strides of New Hampshire amplifies the local passion and resolve in the fight against breast cancer. Together, participants, organizers and volunteers create awareness by supporting survivors and their families, while raising money for critical breast cancer research through the American Cancer Society.
