My Story…

My mother, Rita, was a fighter before her diagnosis and definitely after. She battled cancer for 7 years, starting with pancreatic cancer. She was the light in the room, constantly laughing, making jokes, or dancing. She loved nothing more than her family and hosting parties. She constantly kept a positive attitude no matter how hard the news was from the doctor. Every time her doctor told her the cancer came back or it spread somewhere else, she always responded with, "Okay, I will fight it. What do we need to do next?" She never complained about her situation. She loved butterflies and their evolution. Our team name is Rita's Butterflies because we continue her legacy and honour her in any way we can, and try to portray bit of the strength she had.

Donate to help Raquel raise money for Kicking PancreAS™ 5K - Burlington, ON’s fundraising campaign.
