After over a year and a half of asking, at 953AM on a Thursday morning in March 2023 I was told "I'm sorry, there's a greater than 95% chance that what we're seeing is malignancy". Not many days later it was confirmed... breast cancer with the most aggressive tumor grade available.

Since then I have had surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and endocrine therapy. It's been a journey to say the least. Join me in raising funds so that future women will hopefully have been and less invasive treatment options than I have gone through.

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 6, 2024.

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.

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.
