I am an ardent believer that we need to do more to support women's health and research, and am passionate about contributing to the causes that help pave the way.

Breast Cancer is the number one cancer diagnosis in Canadian women - and it affects men too. 84 women today will receive a diagnosis, and 15 will die from it. 5-10% of cases are diagnosed before 40, about 20% of cases between 40 and 49 and the majority of cases in women over 50. It is not always tied to genetics, but for those with specific BRCA variants, finding a treatment can be elusive and expensive, as not all types of treatments and prescriptions are covered. So much more research is needed.
