This year we get to celebrate a huge milestone; our 10 year anniversary!!!!
Once again the TAG Team will walk 60 miles in 3 days, continuing their fight against breast cancer. Our fearless leader, Christy Ulrich, will be joined by verteran walkers, Debbie Todd, Shelly Walsh, Kitty Tourellott, & Erika Musial as well as our new team mates Dan Musial (TAG's brother), and Jaime DeBlieck.
Ten years ago, Christy started the journey to end breast cancer in honor of her best friend, Tracey Ann Geils. She has walked over 700 miles celebrating Tracey's memory every step of the way. Although Tracey is gone she is never far from the heart of Christy or the entire TAG Team family.
Each year Christy is joined by a group of dedicated people. Throughout the years the faces change but the spirit, determination, and dedication remains the same. To all TAG Team members past and present we share this beautiful milestone with you and thank you for being part of the TAG Team story.
Together we will find a cure!!!

Why We Walk
The T.A.G. Team began it's quest for a cure for breast cancer 8 years ago. The team captain, Christy Ulrich, watched as her best friend, Tracey Anne Geils, battled breast cancer only to have lost her fight on August 10, 2003 at the age of 33. Tracey left behind a loving family including her husband Mark and 3 year old daughter, McKenna.
It was Christy's promise to her best friend that started The T.A.G. Team. The T.A.G. Team will walk every year until a cure is found.
The T.A.G. Team walks in honor of those who currently battle this disease, those who have won the battle, and those who have lost the fight.

The ladybug is the official mascot of The T.A.G. Team. As Tracey was battling her illness she would often see three ladybugs on her window sill; she felt the three ladybugs represented her and her two aunts who also lost their fight to cancer.
