Every Step Brings Us Closer to a Cure

Let’s Make a Difference Together!
The Weekend to End Breast Cancer 2007 event was a fantastic experience for me and I’m back to do it again for 2008!
It’s a two-day, 60-kilometre walking event through the neighbourhoods of Toronto, on the weekend of September 5-7 2008. I’ll be joining thousands of men and women, to raise funds and awareness in the fight against breast cancer.
According to the National Cancer Institute of Canada, approximately 20,500 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and about 5,400 will die from the disease.
I have committed to complete the 60-kilometre walk and to raise a minimum of $2,000; the proceeds benefit Princess Margaret Hospital, funding important breast cancer research, education, services and care.
I believe it is important to invest our money in research and education to find a cure for breast cancer.
The research work will also transition to breakthrough treatments for other types of cancer research, which is especially important to me, as some of my family members and friends are cancer survivors; I have also lost immediate family members and close friends to cancer.
Our 2 day walk is for hope for those battling cancer and in celebration of those who have survived cancer. It is also in memory of those who lost their battle to cancer.
I need your help to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer.
When I ask for your donation in support of my journey in this event, it’s on behalf of your mom, your wife, your partner, your daughter, your sister, your aunt, your niece, your friend, your neighbour, your colleague.
Every dollar gives a person a second chance at life and closer to a cure for breast cancer. Let’s make a difference together!
Thank you for taking the time to read my page. I look forward to being able to share how you and I have helped make a difference!
Namaste,
Jean

On the Road to Victory!

It's a short couple of weeks until the Big Event and we're ready to walk!
We've worked hard to train and fundraise.
We've all reached our individual fundraising goals and are still doing our training walks to build our strength, stamina and mentally prepare for 60 kms!
For me, leading the training walks, and group yoga stretching sessions, is fun and inspirational. We share stories, exchange advice and I learn many life lessons from my team mates.
I feel fortunate to be a part our group and am thankful for being who they are.
As I look forward to the weekend of Sept 5-7, I also look forward to being with my team , my training group and sharing with other walkers and afterwards, my donors what a fanastic experience this has been and how they've made a difference in my life.

A big thank you to my generous donors! I have reached my fundraising goal which qualifies me to participate in the 2 day walking event!
As a team of 4 gals, I get to be the divine captain and we are fundrasing together. If you'd like to make a donation, please feel free to support Sarah's or Mariola's campaign.
We are training hard and plan to be blister free again this year (and not lose toenails either!) - it's one of the steps towards 'divine-hood' :-)
