Every day, 70 Canadians will hear the words “you have breast cancer.” My Mom heard those words when she was only 50 years old.  My Mom was a strong woman who was fortunate enough to go into remission for 10 years however, eventually at 65 years old my Mom died from breast cancer.  As part of my mourning process I took up running (or plodding as I refer to it) and vowed to run 5 kms in honour of my Mom.  October 2000, I ran my first 5 km race, the CIBC Run for the Cure, and through tears of pride (for completing this task) and tears of loss (I truly miss my Mom).  The one vow has turned into this being my 22 nd  year of participating in this run.  I still finish every race with tears of pride and tears of missing My Friend, My Hero, My Mom!!
 
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!
