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. 

I relay for many family members, my best friend, and those who can't for themselves. I have witnessed firsthand the devastating impact this disease can have on individuals and their loved ones. Through participating in Relay for Life, I hope to support those currently battling cancer, and to strive for a future where no one has to suffer through this illness.

No matter how small your donation, 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. 

I refuse to let my best friend's memory be defined solely by loss; instead, I choose to honor her legacy by fighting for a future where cancer is no longer a threat. Together, we can inspire hope, celebrate survivors, and support those who are still fighting.
