Hi everyone!

I wanted to share a little about my reason for participating in this year's Run for the Cure. 

I am going for a lumpectomy this month and will receive confirmation wether the tumor that is continuing to grow in my left breast is benign or malignant. 

Please remember how important breast screening is! Do your self exams and follow up with your DR if you find anything. Make sure you go for your screening mammograms, as you cannot always feel a tumor. 

Thank you for reading my personal portion, and please see below for more information!

An estimated 27,700 women and 260 men are diagnosed with breast cancer every year in Canada.

To show my support for all Canadians impacted by breast cancer, I am participating and fundraising for this year’s Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure on Sunday, October 1, 2023.

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.

P.S. Did you know? Fundraising $300 can fund help provide healthy home-cooked meals for guests at a Canadian Cancer Society lodge during their stay. Lodge guests receive wholesome foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, and meals customized to their dietary needs including those arising from cancer treatment, like liquid and soft food diets.
