What can I say about this beautiful woman, who my siblings and I lost way too early. She was a mother of 12 beautiful children, seven daughters and five sons. Recently we had a family reunion in her hometown of Penetanguishene, Ontario. She has been passed away, unfortunately, for 30 years now.
She passed away of cancer when she was just shy of her 49th birthday, and I sit here knowing that because of the walks that my family and I participate in and the monies we raise, knowledge has been gained in curing this disease.
I too am 49 years old and have just completed my first mammogram successfully and will soon have a colonoscopy to take pro-active steps in my own health.
I have three beautiful daughters myself, ranging in age from 14 to 26. They are so precious to me and I am proud to say I am a third year walker for the cure.
Thank you
