The Team Edna Mission
We are an organization raising money to gift granite memory benches to families who have lost a child to cancer.
Team Edna started as a cycling team at PanMass Challenge. We were so moved by the many stories and families impacted by cancer that we began this charitable organization. After the first memory bench was delivered, we realized it was our mission. Our commitment to provide this gift to families is personal. We experienced the benefits first hand. A memory bench helps loved ones deal with profound sadness and loss and carries so much meaning and emotion to everyone involved.
We have begun fundraising and look forward to creating a cycling team to help us raise even more money.
As with all new ventures, we can’t do it alone and appreciate your interest in supporting our mission. I will be in touch in the coming months with more information and more news.
Thank you again

OUR STORY
Merton ‘Mike’ and Edna ‘Sis’ fell in love, married, and had 6 children before Edna was taken at 45 years old to cancer. Before she passed ‘Sis’ was known for her activism and big heart. Her volunteer work spanned many causes: foster children, clothes drives, teen centers, food pantries and shelters to name a few.
Mike was a Naval Master Chief, RMCM, in WWII. He was Past Commander of James A Logan VFW Post in Somerville, he belonged to the American Legion Post in Plymouth, a member of the Wareham Elks Club and a baseball coach – all of which are known for community service.
Team Edna will carry on their philanthropy and spirit of giving back and helping others.
Team Edna will push ME forward.
