Why We Walk - Meet our Honorary Team Captain

Meet previous Honorary Team Captains

2023 - Eileen Flaherty

Serving as this year's Cardinals Walk Team Honorary Captain is Eileen Flaherty, mother of Cardinals pitcher Jack Flaherty and a breast cancer survivor. Eileen was diagnosed with endometrial/uterine cancer in July 2020 resulting in a total hysterectomy and multiple lymph node removal on October 2nd.

On October 4th, 2021, seven months after completing her initial radiation therapy and one year after her original cancer diagnosis, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After a lumpectomy and lymph removal, she started daily radiation therapy for thirty days. Although Eileen is currently cancer free, she reports to her oncologist every six months until she reaches the 5-year cancer-free milestone marker. We hope fans will join us in walking for Eileen and all of those who have battled and continue to battle this disease.

"Every human deserves kindness, understanding, grace and empathy. For some, sharing their story is an integral part of the healing journey," said Eileen. "My sons, Jack and Grady, my family, my extended friend group and my rock-star girlfriends rallied for me these last 2 years. I hope you'll rally with the Cardinals at this year's MORE THAN PINK walk as we raise funds to support Komen's mission to save lives and end breast cancer."

2021 - Mindy Strauss

The Komen cause is special to the Cardinals every year, but this season we're walking for a family member - our Honorary Team Captain, Mindy Strauss.

As one of the inaugural volunteers for the team's charity, Cardinals Care, Mindy has selflessly dedicated over 20 years supporting the foundation's mission of caring for kids rarely missing an opportunity to serve.

However, in November of 2019, life threw Mindy a curveball when she discovered a lump in her breast. In January of 2020, Mindy began 20 weeks of chemotherapy – a demanding journey riddled with hair loss and side effects, made even more challenging by the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic. But in May, Mindy got to 'ring the bell' signaling the end of chemo. Shortly after, she proactively underwent a double mastectomy and reconstruction surgery, and today, doctors say there is no cancer left in her body.

This year, our team walks in support of Mindy’s journey. She's given so much to our organization as a volunteer, and she's constantly rooting us on as a fan. Now, it's our turn to cheer for her. We hope you'll join us as we celebrate our survivor!
