Relay For Life of Polk County Presented by Winter Haven Hospital/ Winter Haven Women's Hospital

Gerry's Warriors

Hi friends! Maria (D'Angelo) Ugartechea here- daughter of the Legend, Gerry D'Angelo.

As many of you know, my dad was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer in December 2022. That's right.. men can get breast cancer too. According to the American Cancer Society, 2,790 cases will be diagnosed each year.

He completed 5 months of intense chemotherpy, a mastectomy & 18 lymph nodes removed, 40 rounds of radiation, & is currently doing cancer targeted infusions that will come to an end March 20th. This will complete one year of treatments. He has been a true warrior throughout it all, and wants to bring hope to all those that are battling cancer. He is the Honorary Chair for Relay for Life of Polk County in Florida.

We are ready to raise money for the American Cancer Society's support service & lifesaving research in his honor. Believe us, every dollar really does count, so we're asking for your help. Please donate or join our team today, because together we can end cancer. I personally want to thank the doctors, nurses, and staff as they are true heroes.

How Fundraising Impacts Your Community

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 $400 M for potentially lifesaving cancer 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.

Our Sponsors

Many thanks to our generous sponsors for fueling the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer.

Cancer has touched all of us in some way. And we want to stop this disease in its tracks. We'll spend the next few weeks fundraising for the American Cancer Society. Then, on the day of the event, we'll honor the lives lost to cancer, celebrate survivors, and support the caregivers who so selflessly help others.  

Together, we'll be a part of making a difference in this important cause.
