Every day, 70 Canadians will hear the words “you have breast cancer.”

 On July 25, 2019, I was one of those Canadians. if anyone is counting that was 5 years ago!!! Almost 5 years cancer free!!!

Cancer is a game changer. It changes you physically, mentally and emotionally. It changes the way you see things and people and relationships. It literally leaves an imprint on your brain. 3 surgeries, 8 rounds of chemo, lossof  my hair, eyelashes and eyebrows, 25 treatments of radiation, and just to keep things interesting, a global pandemic! But guess what, we beat it. We being the village I had to support me these past years. My family, friends, colleagues, friends of friends and sometimes even strangers. While I plan to live a long, healthy life after my breast cancer diagnosis, 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 walking (hopefully running)  in honour of the incredible people in my life, in my village, and I need your help! 
 
Please contribute what you can to help us achieve our 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.  
 
Please join our team and come out with us on October 6. We will rally together to walk, run, scooter, bike or even just cheer!!  We will have mimosas and munchies at our house after the race. 

Together, we are stronger. Together we can change the future of breast cancer!
 
Thank you in advance for your support!
