An estimated 27,700 women and 260 men are diagnosed with breast cancer every year in Canada.

To show my support for all Canadians impacted by breast cancer, I am participating and fundraising for this year’s Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure on Sunday, October 1, 2023.

With your help, I can reach my fundraising goal and 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.

 I run to raise awareness and stress the importance of breast check. Many people are not aware of how important it is to get checked.  I hear stories of woman who refuse to go or wait till they are not feeling well. Did you know some self checks, cannot be felt? and you assume there is nothing? Some things are hidden so well, and only mammograms/ultrasounds can find it.  I know someone close , who did not feel or notice anything. Fortunately it was caught on time and she underwent a quick 2 week radiation process. We pray it will never come back.   As for myself, it was 2020 aged 44, I was pushed to get checked. I was surprised, I felt no lumps.  Then I was petrified when the doctors were concerned , suspicious of my tests and made me redo tests over and over  . Then it got stretched out to every 6 months.  

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.

P.S. Did you know? Fundraising $300 can fund help provide healthy home-cooked meals for guests at a Canadian Cancer Society lodge during their stay. Lodge guests receive wholesome foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, and meals customized to their dietary needs including those arising from cancer treatment, like liquid and soft food diets.
