Dear Friends, Family, and Community Members,

I am reaching out to you with a heart full of gratitude and determination as I embark on another year of participating in the Challenge for Life Walk to support cancer care right here in Manitoba. This cause is deeply personal to me as a survivor of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (A.L.L).

For 17 years, I have walked alongside fellow survivors, supporters, and caregivers in this inspiring event, and each step we take brings us closer to our shared goal: to make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by cancer in our community.

Why is this cause so important?

Cancer knows no boundaries, affecting individuals and families from all walks of life. Through the Challenge for Life Walk, we can ensure that vital resources and support services remain accessible to those who need them most, right here in Manitoba. From funding life-saving research to providing essential care and support services, every dollar raised stays local, making a direct and meaningful impact on the lives of cancer patients and their loved ones.

My Journey as a Survivor:

As a survivor of A.L.L leukemia, I understand firsthand the challenges and uncertainties that come with a cancer diagnosis. But I also know the power of community, resilience, and hope. Through the support of incredible medical professionals, loved ones, and organizations like CancerCare Manitoba, I have been blessed with the opportunity to continue my journey and give back to others facing similar battles.

How You Can Help:

I invite you to join me in this meaningful cause by donating or even joining our team for the upcoming Challenge for Life Walk. Your generosity will directly impact the lives of cancer patients and their families, providing them with the support, resources, and hope they need during their most challenging moments.

Every dollar raised brings us one step closer to a future without cancer.
