In 2015, two days after our wedding, I was diagnosed with Stage 1 Triple Negative Breast Cancer. Our vows of in sickness and in health became very real. After undergoing a double mastectomy and reconstruction as well as multiple rounds of chemotherapy I was declared in remission in early 2016! 

Did you know an estimated 27,700 women and 260 men are diagnosed with breast cancer every year in Canada?

To show my support for all Canadians impacted by breast cancer, I am participating and fundraising for this year’s Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure on Sunday, October 6, 2024. This will be my 10th run as a survivor of breast cancer! This also marks my 2nd year as an ovarian cancer pre-vivor since having my ovaries removed to reduce the risks associated with being a BRCA1 carrier. Big year!

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.  

Please donate today. 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.  

Thank you! I appreciate your generous support over the years!
