I am taking the Challenge – CancerCare Manitoba Foundation's 17th annual Challenge for Life – because I can! 

This past November I was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer. I have been receiving chemo treatments since December. As a busy mom of three it is a huge challenge, but my family gives me the strength and drive to carry on and fight this disease.

With my family by my side, I am participating in this walk for hope; 

Hope for the future, for funding for research that will hopefully lead to earlier detection.

Hope for new treatments that may give myself and so many others more time with our families 

Hope to beat this disease. 

Thank you to those who will walk with me in support and those who will support with donations. 

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.
