[ENGLISH FOLLOWS]

L’histoire
Alex, c’est une rock star. Une burlesque bunny super sexy, une navigatrice des mers, une alliée, une guerrière, une tante cool — et l’une des personnes les plus drôles et inspirantes qu’on connaisse. C’est celle qui dit oui à l’aventure, qui questionne tout, et qui ouvre la voie pour les autres (surtout pour celles et ceux qui n’ont pas sa force d'agir).

Mais cette année, une nouvelle sorte de tempête s’est invitée : le cancer du sein. Le genre de tempête qu’on ne choisit pas — mais qu’Alex, fidèle à elle-même, affronte avec courage, humour et sa magie légendaire.

Alex a découvert elle-même une masse dans son sein et elle insisterait pour que vous fassiez vos auto-examens —. Faites confiance à vos instincts : plus la détection est précoce, meilleur est le pronostic. On estime qu’en 2024 ≈ 30 500 Canadiennes ont reçu un diagnostic de cancer du sein (soit environ 84 diagnostics par jour). 

Depuis son diagnostic l’hiver dernier, elle a traversé trois chirurgies et six rondes de chimiothérapie. Maintenant, elle se prépare au traitement par radiation et poursuit, à long terme, les traitements hormonaux et par anticorps. Et elle aura une autre (on espère dernière) chirurgie majeure à planifier — une véritable traversée qui s’étendra bien dans la prochaine année. En plus, elle a découvert être porteuse de la mutation génétique BRCA-2, ce qui la rend beaucoup plus à risque pour toutes sortes de cancer. Malgré tout cela, elle garde la tête haute (et parfois chauve, ça lui allait très bien on va se le dire), le cœur grand ouvert, et le porte feuille vide. 

Depuis cinq ans, elle est en Colombie-Britannique — en mode exploration des West Coast baddies — mais soyons honnêtes, la côte Est ne va pas la laisser filer si facilement. Alors lançons la compétition amicale : quelle côte va montrer le plus d’amour, de bruit et de solidarité? La côte est ou la côte ouest? 

Pourquoi on collecte des fonds
Alex traverse un traitement long et exigeant et a besoin qu’on lui permette de se concentrer sur sa guérison. Les dons aideront à couvrir les dépenses médicales non prises en charge tels que les massges du tissu cicatriciel et la physiothérapie, les déplacements et l’hébergement liés aux rendez-vous et chirurgies, le soutien à la convalescence, et les dépenses quotidiennes pour qu’elle puisse se guérir sans stress financier. Car elle n’a malheureusement accès à aucune indemnité salariale, ni au chômage, ni à une assurance — bref, aucun revenu.

Comment aider

  1. Fais un don et dis nous de quelle côte tu es — même 5$.

  2. Envoie un message, un souvenir, une photo ou un mème — les mots réchauffent.

  3. Partage cette page — amplifie l’amour d’un océan à l’autre.

Merci
Merci d’être là pour Alex. Parce qu’une femme aussi forte, drôle et lumineuse mérite tout l’amour du monde et elle aussi des moments de repits— et un peu de cash cash money money pour traverser la tempête. 💜


 

The story
Alex is a rock star. A sexy burlesque bunny, a sailor of the seas, an ally, a fighter, a cool aunty — and one of the fiercest, funniest humans you’ll ever meet. She’s the one who says yes to adventure, who questions everything, and who clears a path for others (even for those of us without her legendary sailor thighs).

But this year, a new kind of storm rolled in: breast cancer. The kind no one signs up for — but Alex, being Alex, has faced it with grit, humor, and that unstoppable sparkle of hers.

Alex found her lump herself and she would absolutely insist that you do your self-exams — Trust your instincts: the earlier the detection, the better the outcome. In Canada, an estimated ≈ 30,500 women were expected to receive a breast cancer diagnosis in 2024 (roughly 84 diagnoses per day). 

Since her diagnosis last winter, she’s been through three surgeries and six rounds of chemo. She’s now preparing radiation and is continuing the long-term hormonal and antibody treatments, and will be planning another (we hope final) major surgery  — a marathon of healing that will stretch well into next year. She also learned that she is a carrier of the BRCA-2 mutation, making her much more susceptible to different cancers. Through it all, she’s kept her head high (and occasionally bald), her heart open, and her middle finger ready for anything cancer throws her way.

For five years now she has been out in beautiful British Columbia — testing out the West Coast baddies — but let’s be honest, the East Coast isn’t giving her up that easily. So let’s make this a friendly competition of love: who’s going to show up stronger, louder, and with more heart or MONEY?

Why we’re raising funds
Alex has been navigating an intense, lengthy treatment plan and needs space to focus on healing. Funds will help cover medical-related expenses not fully covered (like scar tissue massage and physiotherapy), travel and lodging for treatments and surgeries, recovery support, and basic living costs so she can rest and get well without added financial stress. Because unfortunately, she has no salary, unemployment benefits, or insurance — in other words, no income

How you can help

  1. Donate what you can  and tell us from which coast— every bit helps (even $5).

  2. Send Alex a message, memory, photo, or meme — words and laughs matter.

  3. Share this page — spread the love from coast to coast.

Thank you
Thank you for showing up for Alex. Because a woman this strong, funny, and radiant deserves all the love — and a little cash cash money money to help her ride out the storm. 💜
