Team Strong and Strange Welcome to Team Strong and Strange! We are proud to join the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk this year, coming together to raise awareness, offer support, and fund vital research to fight breast cancer. Our team name honors Rachel Strange, and celebrates the incredible courage of all those facing this battle. Breast cancer has touched our lives deeply. Rachel was diagnosed with TNBC while pregnant and began her fight with her newborn by her side. After undergoing 16 rounds of chemotherapy, surgery, and immunotherapy, she stands strong today as a survivor, a mother, and a fighter. Despite the challenges, she is here to encourage others to check themselves regularly and to advocate for better treatments and support for those battling this disease. Our motivation for fundraising is simple: we want a future where no one has to face breast cancer alone. Every dollar raised by Team Strong and Strange helps fund life-saving research, provides critical patient support, and brings us one step closer to finding a cure. We walk for all survivors, fighters, and those we’ve lost too soon. We walk for the future, for our families, and for the hope of a world without breast cancer. Thank you for joining us, donating, or walking alongside us. Together, we are stronger, braver, and more resilient. Let’s stride for hope, for life, and for a cure!

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.

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.
