Janice Matichuk's fight against Glioblastoma
Donation protected
Our beautiful friend, Janice Matichuk has been diagnosed with Glioblastoma brain cancer. This came as a huge shock to Janice, her family and friends. Janice has always been the strong one, the determined one, creative one, making a difference with many not-for-profit organizations, schools and anyone who needed help.
Janice has always given more than she received. All her life she has volunteered for different organizations, Canoe Ontario, the North Bay cross country ski club, Friends of Quetico, the Pictograph Gallery, Beaten Path Nordic trails as well as many more that I can't remember.
Janice is also responsible for saving lives during her time at Cache Bay, a ranger station in Quetico Provincial Park, since 1985. This is the first time since she started work as a ranger, that Janice cannot help campers coming into Quetico to be safer and more environmentally responsible as they canoe through Quetico's vast wilderness.
The following months will be a difficult time for Janice. There will be many health related travel trips to Thunder Bay and possibly elsewhere for treatment. All of this will require considerable financial cost to Janice and her family. I am asking for anyone who has the ability to please contribute to this gofundme page.
Thank you for assisting Janice and her family during this difficult time.
This is information from Ingela, Janice daughter.
I just finished reading Mom all the Birthday wishes & the list of GoFundMe donors, it brought her to tears & she would like me to relay this message to You all: She is SO overwhelmed & humbled by the incredible out pouring of the many types of support You all are so kindly providing her.
She has decided to pursue alternative therapies to treat the symptoms & possibly the actual "daisy" (as she refers to it)
Thank you for everything you have contributed to this fundraiser, originally we thought the amount was insanely excessive, however now as we are getting into the routine of weekly treatments which involve travel to Tbay, at least one overnight & return, we realize this financial assistance is pretty close to exactly what she will need & will be used with much hope & appreciation for the opportunity to do so.
If you have any questions concerns or would like to talk with Janice or Leif or i, please reach out anytime: [phone redacted] is ingela's cell, text is best or call after 6pm CST
