Hi friends,
I am participating in memory of my cousin Colleen, a mother to a little boy, who passed away in her thirties from breast cancer. Her presence would always light up the room.
I am also participating in memory of a calm, cool and classy friend, Ayesha. It was very apparent to me she always had my best interests at heart, and I'll cherish the support and friendship that she gave me over the years.
Let's continue to show Community is Bigger Than Cancer.
Nearly 1 in 2 Canadians are expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. That means half of our family and friends will hear the words "you have cancer" at some point in their lives. Join me in taking action to help create a world where no Canadian has to fear this disease.
I'm determined to make a difference by participating in the Canadian Cancer Society Relay For Life. This is a nationwide event that brings people together to celebrate survivors, honour those we've lost and show that no one has to face cancer alone. By making a donation, you can help fund Canada's most promising research, vital support services for patients and their families, and other important work that could change the future of cancer.
I hope you'll show your support, and help me reach my fundraising goal.
Thank you!
