Our team was created by Alvina in 2023 when she wanted to find meaning in her first birthday without her mom (Betty). Betty will always be remembered for her bravery, devotion to her family, and positivity to those around her. Despite never giving up, Betty passed away on Dec 3, 2022 after 20 years of battling cancer on and off.

This year (2024) our family will be participating in the run again and are looking to have more of our family and friends join us in the event. Whether you are joining in support of our family, someone else you may know or the future we want to encourage others to join us in supporting breast cancer research. Our family was able to find so much hope and empowerment on the day of the run and wish to spread that feeling to those who are able to join us on Oct 6th!

We have come together as a team to support the estimated 27,700 women and 260 men diagnosed with breast cancer every year in Canada.

We are participating and fundraising for this year’s Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure on Sunday, October 1, 2023, 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.
