Cancer is a prevalent disease in todays society, and will affect 2 in 5 Canadians. This year, I am participating in Nipissing University's Relay for Life to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society!

I will be fundraising this year in honour of my Aunt Nancy who is currently battling colon cancer, and her husband, my uncle brad, who lost his battle 5 years ago  I will also be fundraising in honour of my grandparents who have been affected by cancer and every single person who has survived or is currently facing this disease  

Relay for Life is a fundraiser to celebrate cancer survivors and an opportunity to give back to the community. Donations will go to the Canadian Cancer Society to support new research for the diagnosis and treatment of cancers, shape healthcare policies to better diagnose and treat people with cancer, and will offer support to people and their families who are affected by this disease- so nobody has to go thorough their diagnosis alone. 

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.
