Dear Family and Friends,

As you know, my daughter, Katherine, was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive breast cancer on January, 9, 2013.  

I am participating in the Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure on Sunday, October 6, 2024, in London, Ontario.  I would appreciate very much if you could sponsor me in the Run for the Cure for breast cancer research. This will be the twelvth run that I have participated in.  We need research to continue and to find a CURE now.

Over the last 11 years, Team Katherine Butson has raised over $250,000 for the Run for the Cure. Katherine remains on Long Term Disability as she struggles with several side effects from all her treatments and being misdiagnosed 3 times. It still haunts her that she received the diluted chemo, as they will never know exactly how much chemo she actually received and whether it killed the cancer completely. Katherine is now fighting Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. 

 We have been London's Top Family and Friends Fundraising Team 9 out of the 11 years and Katherine has been London's top individual fundraiser as many times. She has also been invited to Toronto's head office of the Canadian Cancer Society on 3 occasions to witness the determination of which research projects receive funding and has been toured through research labs at Princess Margaret Hospital.

Every donation counts. Our goal this year is to raise $23,000 to bring us to a total of over $275,000.00 raised since 2013.  With your help, we can do this! Your continued dedication moves the Canadian Cancer Society closer to achieving its vision of creating a future without breast cancer!! All funds that I raise are dedicated to breast cancer research.

It will mean so much to me, if you are able to support her Team Katherine Butson on October 6, as I attempt to walk 1 km for the Run for the Cure.  

Please support Katherine's and my fundraising efforts.  Go Team Katherine Butson, Go!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!
