Nearly half of Canadians are expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. That means almost half of our family and friends will hear the words “you have cancer” at some point in their lives. We've heard those words in our family too many times. Last week we found out my moms cancer has returned. The news left me feeling hopeless and lost. There's nothing I can do to stop what's happening.
When my sister in law started our team Higgy's Heros it gave me a glimmer of hope. I can't stop what's happening to my mom but I can run for hope for our future. I can run in support of all who are fighting this disease. I can run for all of us who love someone whose fighting. And I can run for my mom.
I’m determined to make a difference by participating in the Canadian Cancer Society Relay For Life.
I hope you’ll show your support, and help me reach my fundraising goal.
Thank you!
