I participate in memory of my Mom. My mother was first diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer in 2019. It was aggressive and spreading very quickly. My mom underwent surgery to remove the large tumour as well as MANY lymph nodes. Once she was able, she started extensive chemotherapy and radiation treatments where she had to leave home and stay in a treatment center out of town - amid the COVID pandemic. In August of 2020 a rash appeared on her side and I urged her to go see a doctor. In September 2020 she was diagnosed once again with stage 4 incurable metastatic breast cancer - there was no treatment for this and we did all we could, with a team of nurses and doctors, to keep her comfortable. My Mom passed away from her cancer in November of 2020. Before she passed I promised her I would do this run for her every year to raise awareness and help fight this fight for her as she never fought alone. 

Thank you for your generosity!
