Friends and family 

I have sincerely appreciated your support in all ways over the past 13 years since my first diagnosis with breast cancer and now again with my second breast cancer diagnosis.

It's difficult to put into words having to deal with breast cancer again and now as a mom of 2 little girls. 

I am again feeling so lucky that early screening, detection and progress in treatment strategies have given me hope and the drive to fight again.

I am also so very appreciative of all the support and love  I have received from so many that has made this journey through surgery and chemotherapy feel doable. I again feel like I'm not in this fight alone.

I really do not have words to express how important that support was and how much it has meant to me over the years.

Run for the Cure has always been a special event for me to see the support of so many friends, family and the community behind you.

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.
