Welcome to My Personal Page

Manhattanville Depot Chair Tracey Young will be our honor sister this year.

 

   Tracey Young has been battling cancer for approximately two years: major surgery, chemotherapy, and its side effects. But you won’t find Young moping at home.

   Young the first-ever female chair at the Manhattanville Bus Depot will be at her post by 6:30 a.m. weekdays to help union members with issues like scheduling, working conditions, and disciplinary matters.

   “I don’t want to sit home dwelling on being sick,” Young said. “I want to fight, and part of fighting is coming to work,” Young said. 

   She also wants to inspire others with cancer to be strong.

   “You can’t give up,” Young said. “If you give up, this cancer will eat you up alive.” 

   TWU Local 100 members can help raise funds for cancer research, and recognize Chairwoman Young, on Oct. 15 by participating in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in Central Park. The Working Women’s Committee & Family Assistance has selected Young as an “honor sister” for the union contingent participating. You can register today.

   “We want a big turnout, not just to help the American Cancer Society, but to recognize our union sister, Tracey,” said, Giselle Martinez, Working Women’s Committee and Family Assistance Coordinator. “She is an amazing woman who inspires many.”

   Local 100 also will be walking in support of the American Cancer Society in the Bronx Oct. 22.

Welcome to our Team Page. We've formed a team because this cause is important to us. We want to help. And walking and raising money in our local American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event is the best way we can do that. We all have different reasons for participating but we share a determination to help save lives from breast cancer.

There are so many ways that the money our team raises helps. It’s helping fund innovative research. It's providing free information for people dealing with the disease. It’s providing rides to treatment and places to stay for people who have to seek treatment far from home. In short, our money is helping save lives. Consider donating to our team and helping advance the cause.

How We Support the American Cancer Society

Of course we walk in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event. And we solicit donations from family, friends, and other supporters. But we also schedule fundraisers in lead-up to the big event. Bake-sales, car washes, and countless other types of events. And we promote those on social media, through Facebook and Twitter, by word of mouth, and through flyers at work and around the neighborhood. The success of fundraising events depends on two things - hard work and getting the word out. And we're out to do both. Keep an eye out for our fundraising events.

Join us. Donate today. Or walk with us.
