Event summary
Join us for an inspiring event, "A Stroll for Sara," on Saturday, June 21, 2025, in Ann Arbor, Washtenaw. This heartfelt 3.2-mile walk honors the vibrant spirit of Sara Zuleta-Acosta, who bravely fought against Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC). The journey will begin at Hunt Park and wind through the picturesque Water Hill neighborhood and downtown Ann Arbor, culminating at YORK's Space on Packard for a lively celebration featuring live music, refreshments, and a silent auction.
After being diagnosed with Stage III TNBC at just 27 years old, Sara's unwavering positivity and zest for life touched everyone around her. Following her passing in November 2023, we aim to raise $100,000 to fund a research grant in her name, and your participation can make a significant impact. With $67,000 already raised, this event is a chance to contribute to a cause that matters deeply. If you can't make it to Ann Arbor, you can still be part of the movement by walking, running, or biking 3.2 miles from wherever you are. Let's come together to honor Sara's legacy and support critical breast cancer research!

Organiser's Description
JOIN US FOR A STROLL FOR SARA
SATURDAY, JUNE 21ST ANN ARBOR, MI (AND BEYOND!)
On June 21st, well walk 3.2 miles in memory of Sara Zuleta-Acosta to honor her vibrant spirit and raise funds for a cause she fought for with everything she had: supporting those diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC).
WHY WE WALK
In the fall of 2019, Sara Zuleta-Acosta discovered a lump in the shower. Two weeks later, at just 27, she was diagnosed with Stage III Triple Negative Breast Cancer an aggressive and under-researched form of breast cancer that primarily affects younger women.
But cancer never defined Sara.
She kept living. She kept loving. She kept showing up for music festivals, for spontaneous adventures, for sunsets with Bryan and their dog Barkley. She skied, traveled, danced, and showed us all what it means to live with grace, grit, and joy.
What began as a simple idea walking alongside Sara while she fought has become a mission to carry her spirit forward.
After she passed in November 2023, just one month shy of her 32nd birthday, we set a goal:
Raise $100,000 to fund a research grant in her name.
Thanks to your generosity, weve already raised $67,000. Your support can help us finish what we started and put this money into action.

WHY TNBC AWARENESS MATTERS
Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) accounts for 1020% of all breast cancer cases, but its more aggressive and harder to treat than other subtypes. TNBC disproportionately affects younger women and certain ethnic groups, and it lacks the hormone receptors that many breast cancer treatments target.
Raising awareness fuels research, early detection, and better outcomes. It also supports the 1 in 8 women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.
