Rays of Hope is an annual fundraising walk held in Springfield. Funds raised at the community walk support programs and services for women with breast cancer at the Comprehensive Breast Center at Baystate Medical Center, at Franklin Medical Center, at Mary Lane Hospital, as well as throughout western Massachusetts. Ten percent of the proceeds fund breast cancer research at the American Cancer Society.
According to Baystate Medical Center's Comprehensive Breast Cancer, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women in the United States with 1 of 9 developing the disease in their lifetime.
Each year approximately 178,000 new cases will be diagnosed and 43,500 women die from the disease.
