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. 

My name is Karishma Persaud, and I am deeply passionate about supporting cancer research. I believe that by coming together and raising funds for research, we can make a great difference in the fight against this devastating disease. Cancer affects millions of lives worldwide, and every contribution we make brings us one step closer to finding better treatments, early detection methods, and ultimately, a cure.

By participating in Relay For Life, I am dedicated to honoring those who have battled cancer, supporting survivors, and advocating for a future free from this illness. Together, let's rally behind the cause, raise awareness, and make a meaningful impact in the ongoing fight against cancer. 

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 $5 or $100 could help make sure a team of researchers has the resources they need to make a life-saving discovery or to provide a patient with access to support services when they need it most.

Thank you in advance for your consideration in donating to a great cause and supporting me as I strive to make a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer. Your generosity and support mean the world to me and countless others impacted by this disease.
