Hi friends,

I’m participating in Teal to Heal Cape Breton, a run/walk in support of ovarian and other gynecological cancers.

This cause is deeply personal to me. I lost my mother after a long and incredibly difficult battle with cervical cancer. Watching someone you love face something so relentless is something that stays with you forever. I witnessed her strength, her courage, and her determination to keep going even on the hardest days—but I also saw the toll it took, the quiet moments of pain, and how much she endured.

Losing her has left a space in my life that can never truly be filled. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of her, and there’s a certain kind of heartbreak that comes with knowing others are walking this same path right now.

That’s why this means so much to me. This isn’t just a walk—it’s a way to honour her, to carry her strength forward, and to support others who are facing these diagnoses. It’s about raising awareness, improving care, and hopefully easing the journey for families going through something similar.

If you’re able, I would be so grateful if you would consider supporting me in reaching my fundraising goal. Donations of $20 or more will receive a tax receipt.

Thank you for helping me honour my mom’s memory and for supporting such an important cause. Your kindness truly means more than I can put into words
