Some moments in life ask more of us than we ever expect to give.

This year, I’m stepping into something called “Show Your Bravery” — not because I feel particularly brave, but because I’ve witnessed what true bravery really looks like.

My friend Julie fought cancer with a strength and grace that I will never forget. Even on the hardest days, she showed up with courage that inspired everyone around her. Losing her has left a space that can never be filled, but her spirit continues to push me forward.

At the same time, I’ve had the privilege of watching my coworker Terry face cancer head-on — not just one, but brain and thyroid cancer — and come out the other side. Her resilience, determination, and refusal to give up are nothing short of incredible.  The fact that Terry has teamed up with me just proves her strong will.

These are just two people who define bravery for me, but there are many many more.  We all have had a family member or a close friend that have had to face cancer head on.

So this is for Julie.

This is for Terry.

And this is for everyone who is still fighting, has fought, or will fight.

Terry and I are raising $1,500 for this fundraiser, and every dollar goes toward supporting those affected by cancer and the ongoing fight for better treatments and outcomes.

If you’re able to donate, share, or simply support this cause, it would mean more than you know. Together, we can honour the bravery of those we love and make a difference in the lives of others.

💛 Donate. Share. Stand with us.
