Support me in the Run for the Cure October 2nd

I’m participating in the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure on Sunday, October 2, 2011. Can I count on your support?   A donation will really help me get closer to my fundraising goal. Any donation will make a difference and help create a future without breast cancer.

When I think about the estimated over 23,000 women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year in Canada, it feels good to support a cause that touches so many of us.  You can make a difference too. With your support, the Foundation will continue funding breast cancer research, education and health promotion initiatives across the country, making a difference from coast to coast.

Funds from this run are utilized by Alberta Cancer Foundation for a number of research projects.  One of the projects funded by the Alberta Cancer Foundation is one that I have been participating in for over the past 6 months and it involves following 400 women that complete extensive aerobic fitness 5 days a week. This study is for one full year and the study follows women who have never had breast cancer to understand how aerobic fitness impacts the reduction of the factors that contribute to breast cancer.
