Welcome to Participant's Page

Name: Melanie and Tim Wheeler

Company: Retired

Goal: $10,000

Why I am Participating:
We are Melanie and Tim Wheeler.  2023 is the year Melanie celebrates 15 years of survivorship!  15!  But we like to say WE are celebrating 15 years of survivorship because when one person has cancer the entirety of the family suffers with them.  So much life has happened during those 15 years and we are thankful everyday!   Our campaign is about raising awareness and raising funds so all women have access to mammography and other services needed to detect breast cancer early.  We are both retired from careers in construction.  We live in Franklin County, love golf, boating, pickle ball, biking and the VT Hokies!  Please support our campaign!

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.

Sole (noun): the undersurface of a shoe; the sole is meant to provide footwear with the necessary support, giving traction and protection from the surfaces it will be in contact with.  

Star (noun): a celebrated, prominent or distinguished person; synonym: VIP · (very) important person.

VBCF Sole Star (noun): a very important person providing support for our mission to eradicate breast cancer by raising awareness and funds in their community and providing traction for our mission; willing to have fun while wearing awesome pink shoes!
