Our goal is Simple:
make the hardest Journey feel a little less lonely
A breast-cancer warrior turned advocate, Cassie created Warriors Way during her own treatment after recognizing how deeply community, support, and small acts of kindness impacted her healing. Her vision is to build a statewide sisterhood where every woman feels surrounded with love, strength, and hope.

The Founder
Warriors Way was born from one woman’s fight—and the realization that no one should ever have to fight breast cancer alone.
In the middle of treatment, Cassie found herself wishing for two things: comfort on the hardest days and connection on the loneliest ones. She saw how much strength came from small acts of kindness—like a warm pair of socks during chemo, a handwritten note, or the simple reminder that someone out there truly cares. From that moment, Warriors Way became more than an idea. It became a movement.
What started with one Warrior Kit delivered in love has grown into a statewide community of women supporting each other through every step—diagnosis, treatment, healing, and beyond. Warriors Way stands for resilience, hope, and the power of women lifting each other up. Today, our mission continues to expand, reaching women in infusion centers, hospitals, and homes across Wisconsin. And with every event, every kit, every hug, and every shared story—we prove that strength is multiplied when we face this journey together.
Warriors Way isn’t just an organization. It’s a family. It’s a heartbeat. And it’s a reminder that even in the darkest moments… the light never leaves us.

Strength looks different for everyone. Sometimes it’s powerful, sometimes it’s quiet. We honor all forms of strength and create spaces where women can feel brave, supported, and reminded that even when they feel weak, they are never alone.
