Background
Rally for the Cure proudly celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. There are 49 clubs across the country that have Rallied with us each year since 1996. Our new “Why I Rally” series was created to share the commitment and dedication of these Rally participants and Ambassadors. Each and every one of you makes a difference.
Why WE Rally…
“I Rally because I lost my best friend of 40 years to cancer. She was a breast cancer survivor but ultimately cancer invaded her body again. She was a warm, compassionate person who left behind two wonderful daughters and four grandchildren. The year after she died, her daughters and I walked the Atlanta 3-Day two years in a row. It was the most incredible, meaningful, inspirational experience I have ever had and it lit a fire in me to do whatever I could to eradicate this horrific disease. The two years I walked, I raised over $26,000 as an individual who found that there is no one that has not been touched by breast cancer. I walked for those that could not but wanted to be a part by donating. I never knew there were that many generous souls. I found the underlying thread of the 3-Day was kindness. It was an experience I will cherish in my heart forever.”
