The Story and Mission of SheStrong

Cancer Changed the Story.
It Does Not Get to Write the Ending.

SheStrong was created to help women affected by cancer reclaim their strength, confidence, and identity through movement, community, and endurance sport.

Where It Began

One Extraordinary Goal

SheStrong began with an extraordinary goal: to bring a team of women in active cancer treatment and cancer survivors to the IRONMAN 70.3 Eagleman in Cambridge, Maryland, on June 12, 2021.

That team represented far more than a finish line. It represented women reclaiming their health, confidence, strength, and identity after a cancer diagnosis. Through coaching, training, encouragement, and the support of an incredible community, our athletes prepared to do something that may once have felt impossible.

With support from the USA Triathlon Foundation, sponsors, and donors, SheStrong helped women from Arizona, across the United States, and beyond take their place at the starting line.

The finish line was never the end of the story. It was proof that cancer did not get the final word.
More Than a Name

What SheStrong Means

SheStrong represents the strength and resilience of women facing cancer. We are daughters, mothers, sisters, friends, wives, aunts, and neighbors.

We are athletes—and women discovering the athlete within themselves. Together, we refuse to allow cancer to break us or define what comes next.

Strength does not always mean being fearless. Sometimes it means taking one more step while surrounded by people who understand.
“When I joined SheStrong, I found the positivity of the group radiating. It was unlike any other cancer support group, as athletes are a different breed. We push through.”— Laura Branson, Stage 3 Breast Cancer Survivor
The Race Was Only the Beginning

Our Mission Continues

Today, SheStrong is an Arizona nonprofit corporation and registered USA Triathlon team helping women affected by any form of cancer return to a healthier, more active way of life. Every woman’s path is different. For one woman, progress may mean completing her first walk or returning to the pool. For another, it may mean crossing the finish line of a triathlon. Every step forward matters.
