Strides RewardsTeam Strength
Welcome to our Team Page! TEAM STRENGTH was formed by Michele Almeida and her fellow breast cancer survivors, family members, and friends in 2008 for the first Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk event in Vermont. Michele was motivated to make a difference through Making Strides after her 2007 diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Until she began as an employee of the American Cancer Society in late 2011, she was recognized as a top individual fundraiser (Pacesetter) each year, and Team Strength was ranked in one of the top three fundraising teams each year. Michele attended the NFL "A Crucial Catch" Patriots football game in fall 2011 as one of two Vermonters honored by the American Cancer Society. In January 2013, TEAM STRENGTH was given another reason to continue the fight against breast cancer. Their family member and friend Rebecca MacLean Audet passed away at age 29 after her breast cancer returned. The team remembers Rebecca and walks in her memory. TEAM STRENGTH also walks in memory of team member and friend, Christa Quenneville Little, who passed away in 2016. TEAM STRENGTH has remained strong through the years thanks in large part to the family and friends who rally around the breast cancer survivors who have been a part of the team. Survivors Christine Farnham and Deb Weinberg have been instrumental team members, helping the team to raise money and recruit walkers. TEAM STRENGTH has raised over $70,000 since 2008. A large portion of that fundraising total has come from the proceeds of Cocktails Curing Cancer, the annual team fundraising event that was held for over ten years. The team members thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting an effort that is so important to us.

Thank you for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer.
Cancer hits far too close to home, so the funds you raise will help do the same. Through services and resources like free rides to chemo, free places to stay near hospitals, and a live 24/7 helpline, cancer patients and their families will feel the love. Here’s how recent money raised has been put to incredible uses.
As of January 2022, we have invested $71 M for potentially lifesaving breast cancer specific research grants.
We have received over 250,000 calls and chats from patients and caregivers seeking support in 2021
Cancer patients benefited from ACS transportation support through our Road TO Recovery program and transportation grants in 2021, with nearly 229,000 rides provided.
Many thanks to our generous sponsors for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against breast cancer.

Strides RewardsThis isn’t what I wanted.
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.
