Why this is important to me!
This August I’ll be running the Falmouth Road Race again (round 3), and this year I’m raising money for DetecTogether.
If you’ve ever run Falmouth, you know it’s a tough race but always a great time, which is why I keep coming back. I love the atmosphere, getting to do it with friends, and pushing myself a little more each year.
This year, though, it feels a bit more meaningful.
Recently, I lost someone close to me, my friend’s father and my hockey coach, Mike, after his battle with cancer. He was the kind of coach who brought out the best in you, teaching my teammates and I work ethic, discipline, and of course, how to forecheck.
Seeing how tough cancer can be and how quickly things can change has made this cause hit much closer to home.
That’s why I’m proud to support DetecTogether. Their focus is simple but incredibly important: helping people detect cancer early, when it’s most treatable. They provide education and tools to help people recognize warning signs and advocate for their health, something that can truly save lives.
If you’re able to donate, I’d really appreciate it. Every contribution helps support their mission and makes a real difference.
Thanks so much for the support, and if nothing else, wish me luck getting through those Falmouth hills.
Description
The worst cancer diagnosis is a late one. That's why support for DetecTogether is so crucial. They teach people how to detect cancer early when it’s most treatable and survivable.
40% of the population will face a cancer diagnosis. One of the most important factors in surviving cancer is the stage at which it is first detected. Early detection makes all the difference.
DetecTogether provides a simple, powerful strategy for detecting cancer early. They educate in schools, present to community groups, and reach out to those at high risk, such as firefighters, empowering people to achieve better healthcare overall.
Their life-saving presentations and information are delivered at no cost, thanks to the kindness and generosity of donors.
Consider supporting this cause. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against cancer.
