An estimated 28,000+ women and men are diagnosed with breast cancer every year in Canada.

To show my support for all Canadians impacted by breast cancer, including me, I am participating and fundraising for this year’s Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure on Sunday, October 6, 2024.  We will be running or walking under the team name Misbehavin Mammaries from a 5 km walking Trail in Chrysler ON.

Unfortunately I have had a cancer recurrence in the past year, which has been very sobering despite knowing that I have 'metastatic' cancer. I am pleased that I was treated successfully and, although I have side effects, the treatment destroyed the tumour.

With your help again this year, I can attempt to 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.

Research is now being done on treatments for metastatic breast cancer as well.  There are many of us who have a better quality of life as a result.  I follow a FaceBook group for Canadians with metastatic breast cancer and members share some of their own accounts of their oncology doctors' 'thinking outside the box'. There are some exciting results.

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.
