Heather Snyder
3-Day Coach
I’ll be your first stop for all your questions about fundraising, training and what to expect on event. I’ll be happy to help you with all your little and big details making sure your first or second time participating in the 3-Day is memorable and magical. I’ll be the one cheering you on every step of the way! In 2015, I decided to walk the 3-Day, as it's always been on my “bucket list.” I loved the entire journey, especially the sense of community and how the experience made me feel! My participant involvement with the 3-Day resonated with me and I’m thrilled to be a member of the 3-Day team. Those who choose to participate will surely feel a sense of accomplishment, purpose, and community in this journey. Please join us this year and be part of something amazing.

Liz Parks
3-Day Coach
I'll be the coach for walkers who have participated in the 3-Day at least twice before and are walking in the Chicago 3-Day this year! I have raised over $30,000 for the 3-Day, walking eight times and serving as a crew member ten times. I am excited about supporting you every step of the way with any questions you have and advice you may need to be successful with your fundraising and training. As a walker myself I know the 3-Day can be a life-changing experience and I am here to make sure your journey with the 3-Day is as magical as possible.
Amy Schwager
Crew & Volunteer Coordinator
I will be supporting the crew members and volunteers for the Chicago 3-Day. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I walked in the 3-Day in 2002 and raised more than $2,700. After 60 long miles and a few blisters, I can truly say it was an unforgettable journey that I will cherish forever. It was after that experience that I knew I had to be involved in this event any way I could. For the past 14 years, I have been supporting our crew community and it has been a true honor. On the 3-Day you will be rewarded with a lifetime’s worth of incredible memories. I want to personally thank you for your commitment. With your help, the 3-Day will change lives, and have a lasting, positive impact on millions of people.

Gayla Cruikshank
3-Day Coach
I'll be the coach for walkers who have participated in the 3-Day at least twice before and are walking in the Dallas/Fort Worth 3-Day this year! I’m a native Dallas-area Texan and have been a “3-Day addict” since 2005, most recently having walked in the New England 3-Day last year. Watching my best friend fight and beat breast cancer inspires me to share what Susan G. Komen® has achieved in the fight against this disease. I have raised more than $18,000 for the 3-Day, walking six times and serving as a crew member six times. I promise, when you commit to participate in the 3-Day, you'll experience the "3-Day bubble" and make memories that will last a lifetime.

Tisho Jessop
3-Day Coach
I'll be the coach for walkers who have participated in the 3-Day at least twice before and are walking in the New England 3-Day this year! I have participated in 13 events, 8 times as a walker and 5 as a crew member. Over those events I have raised more than $31,000 for the 3-Day. I came to the 3-Day in 2008 as a way to honor the memory of my Aunt Barbara and absolutely fell in love with the event. It has changed my life in so many ways and I can’t wait to help make your 3-Day an unforgettable experience!

Staci Roos
3-Day Coach
I'll be the coach for walkers who have participated in the 3-Day at least twice before and are walking in the San Diego 3-Day this year! I have raised more than $10,000 for the 3-Day, walking four times. My history with the 3-Day dates back to 2002. I was so inspired by my mother-in-law’s courage and strength as she fought her brave battle against breast cancer that I signed up to walk in her honor. I was expecting it to be challenging to fundraise. I was expecting it to be challenging to walk so far. What I wasn’t expecting were the bold and rewarding feelings of camaraderie and accomplishment. I was not prepared for the undeniable sense of power created by a community with a common purpose. Now, with four 3-Days under my fanny pack, I’m looking forward to supporting you along your own 3-Day journey!
