Run for the Cure - 2018

in #charity6 years ago

Ladies and Gentlemen,

This will be my second year in a row participating in, and fundraising for, the CIBC Run for the Cure!

Summertime last year, one of the ladies I work closely with was diagnosed with breast-cancer, and has been on the road to recovery after pursuing the required medical treatments. I'm hoping to raise some funds for research in treatments for this all-too-common diagnosis.


1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.

Think of the ladies in your life, and then realize that about 12% will be struck with a cancer diagnosis at some point.


The 5km race / walk is being held on September 30th, and donations are welcome! Click the Pink Ribbon to find the donation page if you wish to donate directly (donations within the next 12 hrs are being matched 100% by CIBC), or please be generous with your votes on this post (with more to come) -- liquid STEEM will be converted to fiat and donated to the campaign.

Sort:  

Excellent initiative, it's a very brave fight. My mother died of breast cancer, they operated on her and she metastasized to her brain, it did not take long after that, to pass away. Hopefully many help in this noble action ..

Thanks for your support!
