JAX, FL – The Taylor Morrison team recently took to the streets to fight breast cancer during the American Cancer Society’s 11th Annual Making Strides against Breast Cancer 5K walk in San Marco. The team, known as “Linda’s Golden Souls,” walked to honor Linda Bisset, a Taylor Morrison new home sales associate who is currently undergoing treatment to fight breast cancer. The team raised more than $1,000 for the American Cancer Society.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is an annual event that provides an opportunity to honor breast cancer survivors, educate women about prevention and early detection, and raise funds and awareness to help the American Cancer Society achieve a day without breast cancer. In 2008, supporters raised more than $60 million nationwide to help the American Cancer Society continue fighting breast cancer and offer hope to people facing the disease.
