I choose to relay for; Nana, Great-Grandpa, Aunt Elsie, Aunt Judy, Deb, Lisa, Uncle Ron, Uncle Jim and Aunt Marilyn. With the loss of all these amazing people I began to understand the true villain cancer can be to a person and a family at the early age of 7 years old. Although I have never had my own experience with the disease, I have seen the impact first hand on my loved ones and family. My ultimate goal is to help someone else to keep their life and spare the pain a family may feel from the experience and potential tragic loss. Let us all work together to find a solution!

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. 

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!
