About Us

While our team began in 2008, the story of how we came to be begins in the fall of 2007.

In September 2007, a lump was discovered in Amy's breast during a routine physical. After ultra sounds, biopsies and tests, it was determined that Amy had Stage 2 Breast Cancer.

Amy was 33 at the time of diagnosis.

In early 2008, Amy's sister-in-law Pam came for a visit and in chatting with Amy asked if she could do something in Amy's honor. To raise money and awareness of this disease, Pam wanted to participate in the Breast Cancer 3-day Walk which benefits Susan G Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust.

After an informational meeting, e-mails and lots of conversation, by spring 2008 12 women had committed to walking 60 miles over 3 days.

One of those 12 women, was Amy herself. By this point, Amy's treatments (4 rounds of chemo and 33 rounds of radiation) were over and she was given the all clear--not only to participate, but health wise. She was showing no evidence of disease.

We needed a team name and after much deliberation (OK....not much at all...), we decided on Amy's Angels. Amy always felt that she was (and still is) surrounded by angels. It only made sense that we name the team as we did.

Now, 2 events later, and over $40,000 raised, we are going strong and have no intention of stopping now!
