My name is Angel Murore and I am privileged to participate and fundraise for the Canadian Cancer Society CIBC run for the Cure. I, like millions of Canadians have women in my life who are battling this insidious disease. Last year, I lost my 49-year-old cousin (a wife and mother of six beautiful children) to breast cancer. Her passing was very difficult for my family and I, and as many of you know grief is an ever-ending process. She is the reason that I have decided to participate in this run with the hope that one day a cure will be available to all.

On another note, I have also recently seen firsthand the work that the Ottawa Cancer Center does to treat and support cancer patients. I am proud to support them in any way that I can.
