I relay for my girlfriend Hilary who is 2 years cancer free from non-hodkins lymphoma, and for my grandmother who beat breast cancer.

I was far to young to grasp what my grandmother went through, though; at the age of 21 it was overwhelming to learn Hilary had been diagnosed with cancer at such a young age. It was hard to see such a young, healthy, positive person go through such a hard experience. 

I am thankful for the advances in prodcedures, especially those that allowed Hilary to have treatment at home during COVID-19. And those that allowed her to beat the cancer in 8 months. 

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!
