Almost everyone I know has been affected by Cancer in some way or another, whether it be someone we have lost or someone who has survived. This past year we have lost three very important people in our lives, have had a few who have recovered for which we are thankful and had a few recently diagnosed.
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. This is why I am participating again in this Relay for Life event in Ottawa on June 8, 2024.
By joining the Canadian Cancer Society Relay For Life and asking people to sponsor me, it brings people together to celebrate survivors, honor those we’ve lost and show that no one has to face cancer alone.
By making a donation, you will improve the lives of all those affected by cancer through world-class research, transformative advocacy and compassionate support. Maybe this year will be the time a breakthrough in research will come and fewer people will not hear that dreaded sentence "You have cancer" .
Please help keep this hope alive and help me reach my fundraising goal.
Thank you!
