I am participating and fundraising for this year’s Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure on Sunday, October 6, 2024.

With your help, I can reach my fundraising goal and make a life-changing difference for so many people. Every dollar I raise will fund groundbreaking breast cancer research and support programs and services for those impacted by this disease.

October 5, 2022 I was diagnosed with Stage 3c breast cancer and my life was forever changed.

Over the last year and a half I've had numerous scans and tests (4 CT, MUGA, 2 bone scans, MRI and 4 TTE, 8 pre chemo blood tests, a genetic test, a year of monthly blood tests and now they're every 3 months).

I've had a bilateral mastectomy with immediate reconstruction and auxiliary node dissection, 16 weeks of chemotherapy, 25 rounds of radiation and a bilateral salpingo-oophectomy and total hysterectomy.

While I might be done my active treatment finally, I still have a long road ahead of me. I'll be on my hormone therapy for the next 4-9 years, since I've been on it for over a year already. I also still have an IV infusion every 3 months to strengthen my bones.

While I'm so fortunate to have had many treatment options available, I believe better treatment options and survival outcomes are possible. Together, we can give Canadians impacted by breast cancer a reason to have hope. And we can help change the future for all.

Please donate today.

Thank you! I appreciate your generous support.
