Our team was inspired by Alvina, who was trying 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.

As a family, we decided this year to join in on the run in support for cancer research and give thanks back to the community that also once helped Betty through her journey.

Our hope through these yearly runs is that one day a cure may be found so no one will have to lose a friend or a family member from cancer. 

We would be honoured to have your support in our first family run through a small donation to our team or by join our family team on the day of the run in memory of our mom Betty.

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.
