Last November I lost my friend Nicole to breast cancer.  With the help of cutting-edge treatments for triple-negative breast cancer, she fought valiantly to be able to see her son graduate from university.  Although too late for Nicole and her family, I know that one day soon advances in research will mean that a son or daughter will be spared the pain of not having their mom by their side when they graduate.

Every day, 70 Canadians will hear the words “you have breast cancer.”  By participating in this year’s Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure,  I’m joining a collective that is a force-for-life in the face of breast cancer. I’m running in memory of my cousin Leanne and my friend Nicole and in honour of the incredible women in my life, and I need your help! 

Please contribute what you can to help me achieve my fundraising goal. Every dollar makes a difference. Your donation will fund ground-breaking research to help save the lives of more Canadians and provide support programs for people affected by breast cancer.  
 
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 change the future of breast cancer. 
 
Thanks in advance for your support!
