Linda's Lefty

In 2019, Melinda was diagnosed with breast cancer on her first routine mammogram. She then had a mastectomy, postop infections, a partial reconstruction, and many rounds of antibiotics. She was then diagnosed with breast cancer again, this time in the right side. Again, Melinda went through a mastectomy with reconstruction that ultimately did not work, resulting in multiple additional surgeries, postop infections with multiple courses of antibiotics and more! Through it all Melinda has remained strong, active, and full of life.

Team Linda's Lefty was started in 2019, and we came together to support not only our mother, freind, aunt, sister; but to support all Canadians diagnosed with breast cancer every year.

We are participating and fundraising for this year’s Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure, because we believe better treatment options and survival outcomes are possible. And we want to support all Canadians impacted by breast cancer, including our family and friends.

With your help, we can reach our fundraising goal of $2500 and fund groundbreaking breast cancer research and support programs and services for those impacted by this disease. Together, we can create a future without breast cancer.

Please donate today. Help us give Canadians impacted by breast cancer a reason to have hope.

Thank you! We appreciate your generous support.
