Every day, 70 Canadians will hear the words “you have breast cancer.” While these Canadians are living longer, healthier lives after a breast cancer diagnosis, but there is still so much work to be done. 
By participating in this year’s Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure,  I’m joining a collective that is a force-for-life in the face of breast cancer. I’m running in honour of the incredible people in my life, and I need your help! 

I am running to celebrate my best friend Gloria Carnevale being cancer free!!  Gloria is amazing and by far the nicest person you will ever meet.  She fought her battle on the other side of the world away from family and friends and was such a fighter!!  I am also running in memory of Gloria's mother Rita, who sadly didn't survive her battle.  Rita was the most welcoming and lovely person, she insisted you call her Mama Rita no matter who you were.  I'm also running for my former classmate Katie Davidson.  Katie has always been such a ray of sunshine and one of the sweetest people you could ever meet.  She is a loving mother of 3 boys who she loves with all her heart.  She continues to fight this terrible disease everyday. 

 
Please contribute what you can to help me achieve my fundraising goal. Every dollar makes a difference. Your donation will fund ground-breaking research to help save the lives of more Canadians and provide support programs for people affected by breast cancer.  
 
Did you know that just $100 could fund two hours of life-saving research in a world class laboratory? Your contribution could lead to the next breakthrough! 
 
Together, we can change the future of breast cancer. 
 
Thanks in advance for your support!
