Vancouver: Crushing Cancer - CIBC Run for the Cure

Vancouver

Crushing Cancer

Welcome to the Crushing Cancer team page! The Run for the Cure is taking place in Vancouver on October 7th. We hope you can support and join us.

Sadly 1 in 8 women get breast cancer in their lifetime. Unfortunately I (Caitlin) was one of them when I was diagnosed in November 2023.

While this has been the hardest challenge of my life, I have immense gratitude for the support and care I've received from my family, friends, community, and doctors and nurses at BC Cancer. I'm very fortunate to have good healthcare insurance which has covered expensive treatment. However, I know many women who are impacted by this disease don't have the same kind of support. They rely on the Canadian Cancer Society to help close the gaps.

I've learned the importance of breast cancer research for early detection, prevention of recurrence, and treatment options to improve survival rates. We need better access to MRI's and mammograms for early detection. A huge amount of research must be funded on groundbreaking tests and treatments before they can become available. As a patient you want to use anything you can to beat it.

Join the team to participate and fundraising for this year's Run for the Cure to support services for women in need and to fund research that improves survival rates. Every woman who is diagnosed deserves the best fighting chance to beat and crush cancer.

Thank you! I appreciate your generous support.
