My cousin's wife added me as an honorary member of their company team for Portland Race for the Cure as soon as she heard about my diagnosis. I am honored to be part of that team and appreciate all those giving their time to raise awareness for something that has touched so many lives.
My daughter , Courtney felt strongly that she wanted to form a team in my name as many of her friends had expressed an interest in taking part to walk in my honor. Since she wasn't sure where to start she enlisted the help of friend, Anna Stahl. If you would like to be part of Team Michelle and participate in Race for the Cure, please go to www.komenoregon.org
Once you are on the website, you can click "join a team" (or if you don't want to join but just want to donate you can click "donate") under the Portland Race for the Cure box. The event will take place on Sunday, September 18. If you are joining the team, type in the team name "Team Michelle". Team captain will come up as Anna Stahl. Click the word "join" to the right of her name. You then will select "adult untimed walking and running" as your event as we will be doing a 5K walk. There is a $30 fee to join the team. Then you will fill out your personal info and choose 5K walk as your event on the next screen. Deadline to register is August 29.
There has been a lot of interest from friends to have Team Michelle shirts. This is something we will look into and find out how much that would be if enough people are interested.
If you have any questions about our team, please let me know and I will forward the info onto Courtney & Anna. It is my hope that Team Michelle will be out in full force to support the fundraising efforts for breast cancer research so that in the future we can find a cure!
