In 2006, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. At the time, I was scared, feeling helpless, and fighting with the difficult experiences of surgery and treatments.

The good thing was that there's a group from my work that they invited me to participate in the CIBC Run for the Cure event, where I saw hundreds and thousands of people caring, supporting, and helping breast cancer survivors. What is more important is that I saw so many ladies wearing pink t-shirts, they are the survivors but they look happy and strong. That gave me a very positive influence on living with hope and wanting to help others with the same experience. 

Since then, I joined CIBC Run for the Cure event every year except the 2 years during  the covid time. That makes this year my 16th time participating the event. 

I hope you have the same feeling as I do. Let's work together to end the breast cancer, and helping survivors to live with a better life. 

Thanks in advance for your support!
