DESCRIPTION
JOIN US FOR A STROLL FOR SARA - SATURDAY, AUGUST 8
ANN ARBOR, MI (AND BEYOND!)
On August 8, 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 Sara passed away in November 2023, just one month before her 32nd birthday, we set out with a goal: Raise $100,000 to fund a research grant in her name.
Thanks to the incredible support of our community, we've reached that milestone. Now, we're building on that impact by continuing to fund critical research and support programs for TNBC patients through the TNBC Foundation

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.
