Strides RewardsThe Grossi Posse
When you get a cancer diagnosis you get the wind knocked out of you! My first thoughts were of my family and what they would do without me and all that I would miss. It is something that I don’t want any of my friends or family to ever go through, but unfortunately many have. I am one of the fortunate ones!! While I also have many friends and family who are survivors of all types of cancer, I also mourn many who did not win the fight. This is why I will continue to FIGHT! I got a tattoo shortly after my chemo was complete, so that I would NEVER forget. I wanted to always remember the feelings and the gratefulness and blessings that I felt upon beating cancer!! Some days it feels like something from another life, but then I look down at my foot and see my tattoo that says COURAGE, written in the Jesus fish symbol. It was my faith that helped me through those darkest days and courage that I never knew I had!! October 13, 2009 was the day that I was diagnosed. I am beyond thrilled to be able to say that I am an 15 year cancer survivor!! I thank GOD every day. I thank GOD everyday for my family and friends! The Grossi Posse has been participating in the Making Strides against breast cancer since 2010! While I will be walking in Myrtle Beach, I encourage you to walk wherever you live and represent The Posse!! I will be fundraising for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in Myrtle Beach again this year. The walk will take place on Saturday, October 12, 2024. Much love and thanks to all of you. God has been there every step of the way. I thank Him and may He continue to bless us all!! With Faith, Family and Friends, I am a Survivor!!

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.
