Today was a big day for fighting breast cancer. Lisa’s Cancer Slayers, a team of 19 fabulous family and friends, ran and walked for a cure for breast cancer!
Our team raised over $2000, doubling our goal of $1000. Thanks to everyone who came out to walk/run and who donated, I greatly appreciate the support! Our MVP fundraiser was Dani, who raised over $700! Amazing - thanks!
If you didn’t get a chance to donate yet, it’s not too late! You can still donate to our team at the following link:

It was really great to gather together with friends and family for today’s event. It was an emotional day, seeing the names of people who participants were running for, some in memoriam, and knowing that my team was running for me. It’s still hard to acknowledge that I’m in Club ‘C’ now, but I know that I have a strong support network and it was never more apparent than today. So thank you Cancer Slayers! Thank you for coming out and being with me today.
I need to send a few shout outs to some rock stars of the day.
A huge thank you to my friends Amanda and Bob for suggesting we have a brunch after the run and offering to host. I loved hanging out with Lisa’s Cancer Slayers – it made the day all the more special.
Another big thanks to Mama and Papa Bear who woke up at 5 AM to drive in from Chilliwack for the race. I know you dislike early mornings as much as I do and I know you did it for me. Thank you, I love you both very much.
And finally, an enormous thank you to my hubby, Pascal, for organizing the team, co-ordinating tshirt distribution and spending all afternoon yesterday making crepes for the brunch. The next best thing to crepes in France are crepes made by a Frenchman! Tu es sensas! Merci beaucoup, je t’aime.
This year, our team sported 'Lisa's Cancer Slayer's' t-shirts.
