My Story…
My name is Andrea Yanez, and on October 19th, 2025, I’ll be running my very first marathon in Toronto.
This run means more to me than just crossing a finish line. I was deeply inspired by a dear friend who, thanks to early detection, was able to win her fight against stage 1 melanoma. Her strength reminded me of the importance of awareness, early checkups, and the courage it takes to face cancer head-on.
I am running for my friend. I am running for my family. I am running for my loved ones who have been touched by cancer in one way or another. This marathon is not just my race, it’s a tribute to everyone who is fighting, who has fought, and who continues to inspire hope.
With every step, I want to raise awareness and make a difference by supporting the Canadian Cancer Society. My goal is to turn this journey into something greater than myself: to help others, spread awareness, and contribute to the fight against cancer.
I invite you to join me in this journey. Together, we can make every kilometre count.
Donate to help Andrea raise money for 2025 TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon’s fundraising campaign.
