Assemblyman Dave McDonough (R,C,I-Merrick) recently thanked members of the Sisterhood of Temple Beth El of Bellmore for their participation in the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk at Jones Beach to raise awareness and money to help fight breast cancer.

“Breast cancer affects an estimated 230,000 women every year and is the second- deadliest form of cancer for women in the United States,” said McDonough. “I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to these women for their efforts to battle this serious disease and their participation in the Walk for Strides event. Their generosity will be felt not only here on Long Island but also across the country as we try to find a cure for this deadly disease.”
