Team Virginia

Team Virginia is a loosely connected group of friends, family and acquaintances, united for one mission — to end breast cancer. Some of us began this journey because a personal encounter with breast cancer. Others of us have watched friends and family members face this terrible disease. All of us are very committed to raise money for breast cancer research and to provide various types of support to those less fortunate (and their families) who are going through breast cancer treatment.

While we are new to Pledge the Pink this year, members of Team Virginia have been active for this cause for many years as part of the Avon Walk to End Breast Cancer. Our members have participated in similar events for this cause in Washington, DC (most of us are based in Northern Virginia), New York, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Boston, Chicago and Charlotte. We welcome new team members to Team Virginia from any location, at any fitness level, who are interested in joining us for three days of fun and friendship for a great cause. 10 miles per day for three days in October is a great 2020 fitness goal!

For those who would prefer to support in other ways than walking, please consider a donation in the name of your favorite Team Virginia walker at Pledge the Pink. . Your donation can provide meals, transportation, screenings and breast cancer treatments for an individual or family that is struggling at a very difficult time. Thanks for considering this important cause.
