When I was 8 years old, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. I still remember the taste of my ice cream and the Dairy Queen booth we were in when the news was shared with me. My mother battled the illness, but our lives were never the same. 12 years later, my aunt passed away from pancreatic cancer, then in 2024, it was my grandfather who joined the stars, following a long battle with lung cancer.
I will not let myself be bullied by this disease. I am determined to make a difference by participating in the Canadian Cancer Society's Relay For Life. I want to honor my mother's courage, and pay tribute to my aunt and my grandfather.
I hope you will show your support and help me reach my fundraising goal.
Thanks
