Running 'Til Remission!

Thank you for visiting our Running 'Til Remission GoFundMe page!

I have taken it upon myself to create this fundraiser for someone (currently choosing to remain anonymous) near and dear to me who is starting their journey through breast cancer treatment. This treatment is expected to be at least 3-4 months in length, beginning with chemotherapy treatment to observe how the tumor responds, with potential for surgery or other options if chemo is not 100% successful. 

The team of specialists managing the case have suggested at least 9 months of absence from the work force. Employment Insurance will be available for approximately 1/3 of this time, but with unexpected expenses, drugs not covered by insurance, and high living costs, this will undoubtedly be a financially strenuous situation for those closely involved.

Seeing as how this treatment will be a marathon of sorts, I will be committing to my own marathon... well actually 'marathons'!  In solidarity with my near and dear, I will be Running 'Til Remission -- one marathon each month until full remission.

Your donations will go directly to the alleviation of financial stresses on the individual (helping cover medical related expenses, living costs, rainy day events), and any surplus funds will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society.

On behalf of the individual, thank you for hearing our story! Please do not be discouraged if you can only help with a few dollars! Every penny counts!
