My Story…
I’m running this half marathon in support of the BC Cancer Foundation, whose work helps provide critical cancer research, care, and support for patients and families across British Columbia.
Everyone has a cancer connection, myself included. In 2020, I lost my mom to cancer, and running this race is a way for me to honour her memory while supporting a cause that means so much to me and so many others. My mom loved nature, cared deeply about making the world a better place, and always encouraged me to try new things and push through difficult moments. Running this half marathon is a way for me to carry her strength, compassion, and encouragement with me every step of the way.
As a co-op student with BC Cancer Prevention, Screening and Hereditary Cancer, I’ve had the opportunity to witness firsthand the incredible impact BC Cancer has on individuals, families, and communities throughout B.C. Every day, I see the importance of early detection, research, prevention, and compassionate care.
This run is for my mom, for everyone impacted by cancer, and for the ongoing fight against the many different forms of cancer that affect individuals and families every day. Any donation, big or small, will help support the life-changing work BC Cancer continues to do across the province.
Description
This year, I will be participating in the Royal Victoria Marathon while fundraising for the BC Cancer Foundation.
The BC Cancer Foundation is the philanthropic partner of BC Cancer, driving impact and powering breakthroughs in British Columbia.
What makes giving to the BC Cancer Foundation unique: every dollar you give stays in B.C., directly supporting the cancer research, innovation and care happening here.
By investing directly in BC Cancer researchers and clinicians, you’re bringing world-first breakthroughs to life — ones that are helping British Columbians live longer, healthier lives and are redefining the standards of cancer care globally.
