Join MWH
We need you on our team! Joining Men With Heart and walking on our team will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. Our cheering, support, and unique energy have a dramatic impact on the breast cancer walks, one that will give you a personally rewarding feeling and a sense of accomplishment that is hard to describe.
Your level of involvement is entirely up to you. You could begin by volunteering at a breast cancer event or walking in a short, single-day walk. If you really want a life-changing experience, you can join us on the Avon 2-day or Breast Cancer 3-day overnight walks. Or for less walking and fund-raising — but no less spirit — join a MWH crew team and provide essential support for these walks. With any of these choices, you’ll be part of a team that goes the extra mile, serenades fellow walkers, doles out candy and support, and cheers every single walker who crosses the finish line.
If you decide to participate in an overnight walk, you’ll be making a commitment on several levels. First, you will need to raise a fairly sizable amount of money. For the Avon 2-day walk, the minimum is $1,800; for the Komen 3-day, it’s $2,200. Your other commitment is to wear the yellow MWH shirt and become a part of a much larger mission -– a mission to show that men care about the fight against breast cancer.
If you have never raised this amount of money, it can be a daunting task, but it’s actually very achievable. Your MWH teammates will help you with advice, sample letters, and corporate sponsorship opportunities. You will get your own personalized fund-raising page on the MWH website, where you will be able to accept online donations and track your fundraising progress.
The dates for the upcoming walks are as follows:
• Avon 2 Day Breast Cancer Walk – May 16 & 17, 2009
• Komen 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk – July 24, 25 & 26, 2009

If you are interested in walking with the MWH team, please contact our team captains — Angelo Liapis for the Avon Walk; Scott Walters for the Komen Walk. Send us your name and contact information and let us know which walk you are considering. We will get back to you with some information and add you to our list to keep you posted on upcoming events or preparations for the walk.
Our team is motivated to help you join our efforts, so if you have any questions or ideas, please feel free to get in touch and ask away.
If you are unsure about your level of commitment, contact us and we’ll be happy to discuss your options in person.
