This summer marks 11 years since I lost my mom Lynda to ovarian cancer. It's hard to believe that it's been 11 years since I've seen or talked to her. I will forever miss her kindness, her selflessness, and her advice that I relied on daily. I am excited to participate in Ovarian Cancer Canada's annual Walk of Hope to raise funds to support research, awareness, and those affected by ovarian cancer. The reality is that ovarian cancer has a poor prognosis, with it being difficult to diagnose and treat. It is the deadliest cancer of the female reproductive system, and there desperately needs to be better screening options so it can be diagnosed earlier with better treatments options available to improve outcomes.
