This Saturday I will be participating in Relay for Life, a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society. Cancer is something that, in one way or another, affects all of us.

A few years ago, my great grandma was diagnosed with lymphoma. Together with the support of medical professionals, family, and community, my grandma was able to defy all odds and beat cancer. Without access to high quality medical care from the Cross Cancer Institute and patient care supports, this would not have been possible.

Funding patient care, treatments, and research involving cancer through the Canadian Cancer Society is one way we can make a difference. Even a small donation can have a significant difference in bettering patient care and furthering cancer research.

I will be relaying for my grandma and all cancer survivors, as well as those who have lost their lives to cancer. I relay for those who are courageously battling cancer, and for their continued access to medical care and support systems. Most importantly, I relay for the hope that one day there will be a cure for cancer.

Thank you for your support!
