Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget. I will be walking in memory of Sheila, Lydia, Darlene, Debbie, Patrice, Pat, and Marian.
It is time to make a change, together we can make a difference!
These women I am walking in memory of were mothers, partners, daughters, sisters, friends and part of a support village. A village I became a part of when I got my diagnosis in 2016. Fortunately for me this November marks 8 years with “no evidence of disease”. This is the kind of news I want all my teal sisters to experience. Research is the only way to stop Ovarian Cancer.
So on Sunday, September 8th, I will be joining my teal sisters and walking shoulder to shoulder taking steps for a brighter future by participating in the Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope. We want to make a difference and further progress against Ovarian cancer, one of the most fatal cancers for women. It is also known as “The Silent Killer,” because its’ presenting symptoms are often mistaken for other benign conditions and currently there is NO reliable early detection screening test..and kills five Canadian women daily. The funding shortfalls in research have stalled scientific progress against this disease to the extent that outcomes have not improved in 50 years! Research is the only way to stop Ovarian Cancer.
Every step and every dollar will help those living with ovarian cancer and all those at risk of the disease to live fuller, better, and longer lives.
The Walk celebrates the hope I carry with me every day - the hope for a future without this disease. Can I please count on your support, together we can make a difference!
