While I was unable to attend the 2023 More Than Pink Walk due to my sciatica, Team Mission Possible raised over $3,000, with the entire San Diego walk raising more than half-a-million dollars! It is hard to believe, but the 2024 walk marks the twentieth year of Team Mission Possible and I just cannot believe it!!!​

    Team Mission Possible was formed in 2004 to honor my mother, Geraldine Kurtz, who was a breast cancer survivor. She dies at the age of 62 due to liver complications brought on by the extensive chemotherapy and radiation she received during her fight against breast cancer. As I watched my Mom in last hours, it enraged me to know that people can survive cancer but die because of the side effects of their treatments. How insane is that!?!? Team Mission Possible has changed and grown significantly over the years; from having only Cheryl walking to growing to over nine participants- including newborns, runners, co-survivors and breast cancer survivors. Over the last twenty years, Team Mission Possible has participated yearly in the Breast Cancer 3-Day, Race for the Cure, and now, the More Thank Pink Walk, in the hope that no child will ever have to walk or run in an event like this again!! As we celebrate twenty years of honoring Geraldine Kurtz, we revel in all the advances made over these years in breast cancer awareness, treatment and awareness, many of which I myself have personally helped to advocate for and benefit from. Susan G. Komen continues to be the ONLY organization that addresses breast cancer on multiple fronts including research, community health, outreach and public policy initiatives in order to make the biggest impact against this disease.      

       We hope that you will consider donating to this year’s race!  If you choose to donate by mail, please: (1) make your check out to “Susan G. Komen”; (2) Write “Team Mission Possible” on the check memo line; and (3) Put check into enclosed self-stamped and self-addressed envelope! You may also donate online at http://www.info-komen.org/goto/grandmunchkin2024. Even if you cannot donate, please use Team Mission Impossible’s 20th Anniversary sticker to show your support of all those fighting this horrible disease!             

With hope for a better tomorrow always,
