Edmonton: Team Barb - CIBC Run for the Cure

Edmonton

Team Barb

I participate in memory of my Mom. Barb was first diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer in 2019. It was aggressive and spreading very quickly. She 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. Barb 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.


We have come together as a team to support the thousands of Canadians diagnosed with breast cancer every year.
 
We are participating and fundraising for this year’s Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure, because we believe better treatment options and survival outcomes are possible. And we want to support all Canadians impacted by breast cancer, including our family and friends. 
 
With your help, we can reach our fundraising goal and fund groundbreaking breast cancer research and support programs and services for those impacted by this disease. Together, we can create a future without breast cancer. 
 
Please donate today. Help us give Canadians impacted by breast cancer a reason to have hope. 
 
Thank you! We appreciate your generous support.
