I am taking the Challenge – CancerCare Manitoba Foundation's 17th annual Challenge for Life – because I am currently undergoing cancer treatment and know first hand how much fundraising helps. 

On October 27, 2023 I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colorectal Cancer. Since this shocking news, I’ve undergone liver surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatment. I’m currently undergoing more chemotherapy and will eventually have the tumour surgically removed this summer. It’s a long and difficult journey. People living with cancer need so much support. 

Being a participant means I am committed to improve my overall health and reduce my own risk of cancer. I have also committed to raise at least $250 in the fight against cancer to help support cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, research and education at CancerCare Manitoba for all Manitobans with cancer.

CancerCare Manitoba is dedicated to excellence in care, providing the latest treatments available for those diagnosed and living with cancer and blood disorders and improving cancer outcomes for all Manitobans.

Join me in the Challenge or support me with a donation! Together, we can change the course of cancer in Manitoba.
