I never thought that cancer would play any role in my life. It was a far away fear, a scary monster under the bed. Then my mom got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer when I was thirteen years old. She passed away when I was fifteen. And cancer wasn't far away anymore.

My mom was an amzing person. And she was an amazing mom. Radiant in every way her thoughtfulness is what I remeber most and try to carry with me. To see her go through treatment, chemo and it's side effects, and to ultimatley lose her changed my life and changed my relationship with cancer. This cause is so important to me because no one should have to go through the pain, greif, and heartbreak cancer can bring. 

With the help of generous family, friends, and donors, last year I raised almost $12,000 for the Uniersity of British Columbia's Relay for Life event. More can always be done so this year my team aims to raise $15,000, of which I hope to raise $10,000 personally. If you are able to donate, even $1 is incredibly appreciated. And if you are unable, please share this donation link with those who are and would like to donate. Thank you!
