It started with a routine mammogram. My family doctor sent me for a baseline mammogram because I turned 50. I am grateful he did, because he may just have saved my life. Three mammograms and a biopsy, followed by a lumpectomy, followed by a second surgery to clean up the margins, and now on to radiation and - hopefully- the rest of a long life. Ladies get your boobs checked!

Every day, 75 Canadians will hear the words “you have breast cancer.” While these Canadians are living longer, healthier lives after a breast cancer diagnosis, there is still so much work to be done.

By participating in this year’s Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure, I am helping change the future of breast cancer. I am running in honour of the incredible people in my life, and I need your support!

Please contribute what you can to help me achieve my fundraising goal. Every dollar makes a difference. Your donation will fund the best breast cancer research in Canada and a vitally important support system that helps people with breast cancer and their families nationwide.

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 show Canadians facing breast cancer that we will never stop running.

Thanks in advance for your support!
