About Us
This year Christy will be joined by Debbie Todd, Shelly Walsh, Erika Musial, Kitty Tourtellot, Dan Musial, and Jaime DeBlieck to the team. We invite you to get to know them.
Debbie Todd - "I am walking because I always said I would since Tracey (Geils) passed away. I know Tracey all through high school and couldn't believe this happened. Christy (Ulrich) has been a friend of mine for years and I am moved beyond words everytime she talks about The T.A.G. Team. So this is the year I begin to walking and NOT just talking. So far, in my 40 years, I have been lucky not to go through losing someone (other than Tracey) to breast cancer."
Shelly Walsh - Please support me as I take an amazing journey in the fight against breast cancer! The Breast Cancer 3-Day is a 60-mile walk over the course of three days. Net proceeds benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure and National Philanthropic Trust, funding important breast cancer research, education, screening, and treatment.
Kitty Tourtellott-Please support me as I take an amazing journey in the fight to end breast cancer! The Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure is a 60-mile walk over the course of three days.
I am walking for many people that I have known and still know. Some are survivors, some are newly diagnosed and some did not win their battle. As an oncology nurse I have seen the devastating affect this disease can have on families; big or small, old or young,
extended or just the patient. In doing the 3 day, I feel that I am doing something to help to bring a cure to these people, that I am finally helping.
I have wanted to do something for a long time, my sister walked with T.A.G. team last year and has had great things to say about everyone. So, at 42 I will be walking the greatest distance of my life, but it is nothing compared to what my friends have endured.
Erika Musial-This is my first walk because I'm finally old enough to walk! I'm walking for my aunt and my grandma who both passed away from breast cancer. I'm walking with the TAG team which is named after my Aunt (Tracey Anne Geils). The TAG team was created by my aunt's best friend. Im excited and can't wait to walk in Chicago this year!!! Please support me and the TAG Team in the walk this year in our quest to find a cure for Breast Cancer!

aka the cheer team
Kay & Jim Musial - "My husband and I are on the cheer team because T.A.G. is our daughter. We have such respect for those who walk for Tracey or anyone else. It makes me feel good inside that we are all doing this for a cure. Much thanks to Christy, without her this team would have never happened."
Jennifer Raus - "I walked with The T.A.G. Team in 2006. When I was unable to raise the necessary donations in 2007 I decided to start cheering. I am inspired every year by the thousands of walkers that dedicate their time to find a cure. To have a walker wrap their arms around me and express their gratitude because I am providing encouragement is overwhelming. I will cheer every year until a cure is found."

Who We Walk For
We walk for those we know,
For those we don't know,
For those that lived,
For those we've lost.
We walk for a cure!
Our Special Thanks
The T.A.G. Team would like to thank all those who have joined us in our journey. To our friends and families: your love and support has gotten us through some of our most difficult times and we know we never would have made it this far without you.
Tracey Anne Geils' Family
McKenna (daughter), Kay and Jim Musial (parents)
To the Village of Mt. Prospect and the Mt. Prospect Police Department: the support you showed all the 3-Day walkers for the Chicago 2008 event was moving beyond words. The spirit of the police officers with their pink uniforms added such a memorable element to this event-you will be a permanent part of the 3-Day history books. Thank you for everything.
Officers Frank Raus & Bill Roscop
To Culver's in Huntley, Il: thank you for opening your doors to such an important cause. From Custard for a Cure to selling the pink ribbons; it was your involvement that helped us raise over $1000 for breast cancer research. Thank you so much for your time, patience, enthusiasm, and support.
