Team Michelle is a non-profit organization made up of committed family and friends dedicated to ending breast cancer, providing financial support to breast cancer survivors and their families and raising funds for cancer research.

It’s been a crazy 2020…events cancelled, plans changed and our lives turned upside down….and yet that doesn’t stop our family and friends in our communities from getting diagnosed with breast cancer and it doesn’t stop the important work of finding a cure. Team Michelle has cancelled all in-person events for the year but that doesn’t mean Team Michelle is quiet!

We are holding this first ever virtual 10 mile walk to support our essential programs and ensure funding continues for the important work we are honored to be a part of.

Our goal is to raise $70,000 which will fund our two research projects at UCI Chao Center in Irvine, California and KU Med in Kansas City. It will also fund our Acts of Love gifts that are awarded throughout the year to those currently battling breast cancer.

Why am I walking in the virtual 10 mile event?  I walk to support all the breast cancer survivors in my circle of family and friends, like my best friend Kristin, her sister Ann, my grandma Donnis, and our team leader, Michelle.  I walk to honor the memory of all those we have lost to breast cancer, like my dear friend Misti, who fought her battle so bravely.  I walk to give hope to everyone, especially my three children, that we will one day know a world with a cure for breast cancer.
