Welcome to the Team Kimpossible home on the Interwebs, dedicated to continuing Kim’s fight to find a cure for breast cancer.

In 2002 Kim and her friend Gayle participated in the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-day 60 mile walk in Boca Raton, FL. Together they raised over $7000 for the cause. Unfortunately Kimberly Teems Marques lost her life on May 6, 2008 during her second bout with breast cancer.

Team Kimpossible was assembled in her memory. The team of 6 walkers, led by Gayle, participated in the same event hosted in Tampa Bay, FL the following October. Each walker raised a minimum of $2200 for a team total of over $13,000! The team was joined by over 1500 walkers, 325 crew members, and collectively the Tampa event alone raised over 4.4 million dollars! Combine all the 3-day walks across the nation and we raised nearly 95 million dollars! (see 2008 statistics for all 14 events)

This year was no different. Team Kimpossible was out in force at the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-day once again this past October walking in Kim’s memory and continuing her fight to raise money and find a cure for breast cancer. This year our minimum contribution to walk was raised to $2300 per walker. For more information on the ‘09 team members visit our team info page.

We put this web page together to spread Kim’s cause, help bring awareness to breast cancer and early detection, and ultimately, raise funds to help us participate in our 3-day 60 mile walk in Tampa.

What can you do? Well the most direct help comes in the form of a monetary donation. You can also help tremendously by spreading the word of our story and cause, link to our page, tell your friends, co-workers, family. With your help we can raise awareness about early detection of breast cancer and raise money to find a cure one day. Why? Because everybody deserves a lifetime!
