Today, thousands of Canadian women are living with ovarian cancer and another 2,800 will be diagnosed this year.  

Each of these women is central to a family - mother, daughter, sister, niece, aunt, wife - and their circle of friends. Every one of these women has people who love her. Just being there to support and honour her means everything. That’s why I’m participating with thousands of others at the Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope.  I'm walking to honour my niece Jill and every woman who has faced or will face this terrible disease.  I walk in hope of an early detection test.  I walk in hope of a cure.

The Walk celebrates the hope I carry with me every day – the hope for a future without this disease.

Every dollar I raise supports Ovarian Cancer Canada, the only national charity that champions the health and well-being of women with ovarian cancer and others at risk of this disease. Funds will be used to fund vital research, spur advocacy efforts, and provide support so that we can help women with, or at risk of, ovarian cancer live fuller, better, longer lives.

Please provide your support by giving generously. Better yet, if you are up for a challenge this September, come out and join me. Together we can make a difference.
