5k Walk - Breasts 4 Life - Run for the Cure

You all know by now that I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Breast Cancer in December 2015.  I have undergone a double mastectomy in February 2016 and have completed 3 of 6 rounds of chemo therapy.  After all of this I will have to undergo 5 weeks of radiation therapy because 3 of the 11 lymphnodes removed were positive for cancer.

I will never forget hearing the words in the doctors office on the dreadful day of December 30, 2015, when he told me and my husband that I had Breast Cancer. Words that no matter how delicately it is said to you, they are like a time bomb going off in your head, heart and soul. No man or woman should have to ever hear those words. 

This year my husband and I have decided that we will walk the 5km CIBC Run for the Cure on October 2, 2016. This event will bring together thousands of strangers, friends and family who are all there for one reason, and this to raise funds for research, early prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care.  Every 1 in 9 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, it can be you, your mother, sister, aunt, cousin, friend, daughter and the list can go on. We all say or think, just like i did, it won't happen to me, or it can't happen to me.  Well, it could and it did happen to me at 40 years old and in the prime of my life, it suddenly came crashing down on me. 

Together our goal is to raise a minimum on $1500.00 but the maximum is unlimited, together with our team we will walk rain or shine and stand by one another with the thousands of other walkers and runners and stand strong against Cancer.

So please any amount can help with this dreadful disease.
