Join Team HER2
TEAM HER2, launched by Genentech BioOncology in 2009, is the
first-ever national walk team dedicated to patients and caregivers
affected by HER2-positive breast cancer. TEAM HER2 offers
women and caregivers impacted by this diagnosis the opportunity
to connect with others within their communities to exchange support
and provide motivation.
As an official sponsor of the 2009 Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, Genentech is coordinating TEAM HER2 teams in each of the nine Avon Walk for Breast Cancer events. Everyone affected by HER2-positive breast cancer is invited to join TEAM HER2 to walk in the fight against breast cancer.
The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer is a two-day, 39-mile fundraising walk. By participating in the Avon Walk, you’re helping to raise funds to assist medically under-insured women and men to receive the screening, support, and treatment they require. And leading-edge research teams from around the country will be provided with the funds they need to fuel their quest for a cure.
Interested individuals must first register for the 2009 Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. Once registered for the Avon Walk, click here to receive a TEAM HER2 application. Avon Walk registration fee and fundraising requirement is the responsibility of the participant.
