Want to fight breast cancer? Business relationship manager Cheri Cicona-Trudell is leading a team in this year’s Making Strides of Milwaukee walk on Saturday, October 15, at Henry Maier Festival Park.

“I’ve signed up to walk to raise awareness of breast cancer and to raise money for the American Cancer Society,” said Cheri, who was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma, the most common form of breast cancer, in 2015. “The money raised at this event will stay in our community and go to individuals without a support system — helping them with rides to appointments, costs of treatment, meals, and emotional support. I was blessed to have an amazing support system of family and friends, but not everyone is as fortunate as I was. Now it’s time to make sure I give back to the community and help others in need.”

You can donate to Trudell’s Team online and get more information about the Milwaukee event. There will be two routes: 1.5 and 3 miles. If you are interested in walking with her team, email Cheri.
