I'm taking part in the Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure to honor some of the strongest women I know. My heart breaks for my best friend Pamela, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I’m running for her and for all the amazing women who have faced this fight. I’m running for my mother-in-law Debora, who beat breast cancer over 5 years ago, my aunt Emilce, who overcame it more than 15 years ago, and my beloved grandmother Lucila, who bravely conquered it over 50 years ago but is no longer with us.

These women are my heroes, and I want to ensure no woman has to face this fight alone. I’m asking for your support—please help me raise money to make a difference in the lives of those battling breast cancer today and in the future. Together, we can make a change!
