Hey all! Welcome to our team, Jen's Gems! We are participating in and fundraising for this year’s Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure on Sunday, October 1st.

Why are we doing the run this year, you ask? Well let's take a run back (hahaha! see what we did there - run back ) in time to tell our story, which will lead to where we are today - which is asking for your support in helping our friend Jen!

Our small team of 5 met at work and became fast friends through the many challenges you experience on the job and have supported each other through life's adventures. We have been through some of life's biggest challenges together and now we are facing another big one - a challenge that we are determined to win! Back in 2021, Jen was diagnosed with breast cancer and beat it! Now it is back again.

We are turning our shock and anger into something positive - we want to do something, anything, to help her fight the fight, be free of this horrible disease, so we can continue to celebrate all the amazing things life has in store for us.

We have come together for our friend - Jen, however, here are some staggering facts about breast cancer.

There are an 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 of $2,500 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 join our team or help us reach out goal by donating today. Help us give Canadians impacted by breast cancer a reason to have hope and to get Jen better again - she has too much living to do!

Thank you! We appreciate your generous support!
