Every day, 70 Canadians will hear the words “you have breast cancer.” While these Canadians are living longer, healthier lives after a breast cancer diagnosis, but there is still so much work to be done. 

Once again, this year I’ll be walking with my family and friends on team: Mel's Belles, in honour of my dad (Mel), who passed away from breast cancer in April 2008. 

While I do this walk annually because of my connection to breast cancer, the funds are to the Canadian Cancer Society, which funds all types of cancer research. Unfortunately, I/we/you are hearing from too many of our friends and family that they are impacted by some form of cancer all too often. 
 
Times are challenging for all of us these days.  Your friendship and emotional support is always most important to me!  If you feel you are able, please consider a small contribution 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!
