Event summary
Join us for the inspiring "Mile For Her" event taking place throughout September 2026 in Matthews, Mecklenburg. This virtual movement is dedicated to supporting women affected by gynecologic cancer and aims to raise awareness about the importance of early detection and symptoms. Participants can choose their preferred activity—whether it's walking, biking, paddling, or even jumping—as long as they commit to moving at least one mile during the month. Each mile logged will contribute to a collective goal of 9,583 miles, representing the number of gynecologic cancer diagnoses in the U.S. each month.
In memory of Amber Blackwood, who inspired this event with her indomitable spirit, "Mile For Her" encourages individuals to honor their loved ones impacted by cancer while embracing a sense of community and empowerment. As you embark on this journey, you’ll be helping to fund the Teal Diva Survivor Retreat, a transformative experience for gynecologic cancer survivors. Register online, share your progress, and utilize the hashtag #TEALDIVAM4H to spread the word. Let’s come together this September to make every step count and create a wave of hope and connection for those who need it most!

Organiser's Description
TEAL DIVA PRESENTS: MILE FOR HER A VIRTUAL MOVEMENT WITH MEANING.
Teal Diva supports women affected by gynecologic cancer, focusing on emotional well-being, connection, and education. Through community events and outreach, we empower survivors, honor legacies, and raise awareness about symptoms and early detection.
A Mile for Her began in honor of our friend Amber Blackwood. While training for our annual 5K, Amber incorporated trampoline training and had worked her way up to a few miles. But just weeks before the event, she became sick again. In the month leading up to that race, we encouraged our community to walk a mile for Amber. When she passed, we carried that spirit forward first by including a Mile for Her as part of our 5K, and now as its own stand-alone event. Ambers strength and joy continue to inspire every step we take. And while this all began as a result of Amber, it has grown to be for anyone diagnosed with gynecologic cancer whether she is still with us or has passed on.
Whether you bike, row, run, walk, paddle, or jump do it for her. Do it for yourself. For the survivor in your life. For the one you lost. For your sister, your friend, your mother the woman who fought gynecologic cancer with everything she had. You set the pace. You choose your activity. You move when and how it works for you. All we ask is that you commit to at least one mile because every step, every mile, every moment you dedicate its all for her. Were logging 9,583 miles one for every gynecologic cancer diagnosed each month in the U.S. Every mile honors a womans journey.
This September, join us in raising awareness for gynecologic cancers and funds for the Teal Diva Survivor Retreat, a transformative long weekend for 20 gynecologic cancer survivors. In a peaceful, awe-inspiring setting, these resilient women will connect with others whove walked similar paths, embrace the spirit of sisterhood, and find rest, reflection, and joy. The retreat offers encouragement and guidance for those navigating life after cancer helping survivors answer the difficult question: "What's next?"
