I'm participating in the Beau's 5K for Ovarian Cancer Canada, a fundraising run (and/or walk) in support of Ovarian Cancer Canada. 

Funds raised will be used not only for research grants and programs, but also to support Ovarian Cancer Canada's resources for women living with the disease, plus education and awareness programs.

Whether it's ovarian cancer, or any other type, everybody knows someone who's been stricken by this disease, probably several people. In my case, some of my loved ones have survived, while others were not so fortunate. Plus cancer treatment is hard on friends and family as well. But, when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s, a cancer diagnosis was considered terminal, the end of the line. This is absolutely not true any more, so there has been progress, and there is hope for the future.

Anything you can donate will of course be gratefully received. In lieu of that, encouragement and well-wishes, whether expressed to me personally or felt but unvoiced, are likewise very much appreciated.

Thanks,

t!
