This year at the 2025 Susan G. Komen New England 3-Day®, we were proud to present Kirstin B. with the Crew Impact Award, honoring her for being a stellar example of dedication, compassion and leadership within the Pink Bubble community.  

Kirstin’s 3-Day journey began when she was just 15, walking in memory of her godmother who passed away from breast cancer. In 2016, she joined the medical crew as an emergency medical technician at the Philadelphia 3-Day.  

Since then, Kirstin has become a vital part of the 3-Day medical crew. Now a registered nurse, she has volunteered at all 3-Day events since 2022, except for San Diego where she walks as a participant. Kirstin has participated in 28 3-Day events and raised more than $26,000. We are overwhelmingly grateful for the love and dedication Kirstin pours into the 3-Day family.  

Meghan D., a fellow medical crew member, honored Kirstin on stage during the New England 3-Day’s Celebration of Champions. 

“Amid the chaos, she is a calm, steady presence navigating challenges, coordinating care and making sure every participant feels supported,” Meghan said. “Veterans of the 3-Day know Kirstin, not just because she’s been part of more than 25 events, but because she makes it her mission to know them. To connect. To care.” 

Whether she’s serving as team leader or medical captain, Kirstin leads with grace and compassion, and we are so grateful for all her selfless efforts.  

Congratulations, Kirstin! You are so deeply appreciated.
