Cancer has hit close to home on multiple occasions but first when my papa was diagnosed with lung cancer. Originally given 6 months to live he surprised all and faught hard for an extra 10 years of what he called his borrowed time. It was thanks to a clinical trial that we got that extra time with him. Cancer struck again when it hit my nana. And again when my aunt was diagnosed. I never saw it coming when my closest friend at just 20 was told the news she had stage 4 cancer. It's for these people that I relay. 

With nearly half of Canadians expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, I’m more determined than ever to help change the future of this disease. My family and friends could be affected and that makes it personal. 

Please help me reach my fundraising goal for Relay For Life.  It doesn’t matter how small the step, it makes a difference. Not only for those living with cancer now, but for those remembering and honouring those we’ve lost.  A donation of $25, $50 or $100 could help make sure a team of researchers has the resources they need to make a life-saving discovery or a patient has access to support services when they need it most. 

Think about the impact we can make together!
