You may not have known, but she was my counselor, my mentor, my advisor and my best friend. 

She was taken away and we can't just sit on our hands letting this happen to other women, mothers, daughters, aunts, grandmother's, or friends!

Enough is enough!

I walk in memory of my mom. The strongest woman I have ever known! #cindystrong #ladyballs #warriorwalkers

Today, thousands of Canadian women are living with ovarian cancer and another 2,800 will be diagnosed this year. There is NO test to screen for this cancer. There has been no change to treatment outcomes in over 50 years!

Each of these women is central to a family. Every one of these women has people who love her. Just being there to support and honor her means everything. That’s why I’m participating with thousands of others at the Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope.

The Walk celebrates the hope I carry with me every day – the hope for a future without this disease.

This year’s goal is to raise $2.1 million. Every dollar I raise supports Ovarian Cancer Canada, the only national charity entirely dedicated to this important cause. Funds will be used to provide support, increase awareness, and fund vital research so that we can change the future for the women we love.

Please provide your support by giving generously. Better yet, if you are up for a challenge this September, come out and join me. Together we can make a difference.
