Why I am Participating:
Liz Ackley is a Professor of Health & Exercise Science at Roanoke College, an avid trail runner and outdoor adventurer, and is actively undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Diagnosed during her first mammogram in 2022, Liz understands the importance of early detection and is eager to support enhanced access to affordable breast screening across Virginia. While working full time throughout her treatment, Liz has learned firsthand that it takes a village to manage the disruptions that cancer bestows on individuals, families, and communities. She requests your help to ensure Virginian’s most vulnerable have access to the support they need in the fight against breast cancer.

What is a Sole Star?
The Sole Stars campaign engages leaders in our communities as representatives in the fight against breast cancer. During the month-long campaign, each Sole Star will raise or give a minimum of $1,000, which will be used to support the work of the Virginia Breast Cancer Foundation (VBCF.) The money raised through the Roanoke Sole Stars campaign will pay for breast health services like diagnostic mammograms, MRIs, ultrasounds and biopsies for uninsured and underinsured women in Southwest Virginia.
