Strides RewardsTeam Survivors
Four year ago during my annual mammogram in December 2020 some unusual cells were detected. After having an ultrasound and biopsy I received a call from my doctor on January 13, 2021 sharing with me that my biopsy came back malignant and I had Stage 1 Breast Cancer. Even though my Grandmother and Aunt have both been diagnosed with Breast Cancer I never thought I too, would receive that call. After meeting with my team of doctors I had surgery on February 15, 2021 then started my treatment regiment on April 1, 2021. After 20 weeks of chemotherapy which concluded on August 13, 2021 and 7 weeks of radiation which ended on October 27, 2021 I now have no signs of disease. Through my faith in God, my family, friends, my doctors and my work family I am now able to live as a survivor. Believe me, every dollar really does count, so I'm asking for your help. Please donate or join my team today, because together we can end 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.
