According to the Canadian Government Breast Cancer is a disease that one in eight women are expected to develop in their lifetime. Although one out of eight may not seem like a massive number, the magnitude of lives impacted with one diagnosis is substantial. My mom, Elizabeth Szuty was unfortunately one of those eight Canadian Women who was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Her battle started in 2003, and she beat back cancer three times, before ultimately losing her fight in 2019. Although gone, my mom left behind a legacy in which I feel it’s my next step to carry on.
By participating in this year’s Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure, we’re joining a collective which will help the process of healing, share stories, strengthen relationships, and work towards finding a cure. Not only are we honouring the incredible people in our lives who’ve encountered breast cancer, we’re also shedding light on those who are not forgotten but gone. It’s through their battles and courageous efforts society as a whole has learned a tremendous amount about the disease, and put fourth abundant research to find a cure.
Please contribute what you can to our fundraising. Every dollar makes a difference. Your donation will fund ground-breaking research to help save the lives of more Canadians and provide support programs for people affected by breast cancer.
Did you know that just $100 could fund two hours of life-saving research in a world class laboratory? Your contribution could lead to the next breakthrough!
Together, we can change the future of breast cancer.
Thanks in advance for your support!
