THIS ISN’T ABOUT HOW YOU MOVE. IT’S ABOUT WHY.
Inflammatory Breast Cancer is aggressive, underfunded, and often misdiagnosed. It’s not rare - it’s rarely recognized. And in Canada, it has been left out of the conversation for far too long. We’re changing that. The IBC Network Foundation Canada is a patient-led registered charity focused entirely on IBC. We support people living with this disease, push for faster diagnosis and better access to care, and are working to fund the research IBC has gone without for far too long. This May, we’re inviting you to Move for More. Last year our community raised
$6,000. Move however you can - walk, run, dance, stretch, ride - and raise funds to support real action: 🧡 Programs that support patients and families
Your support moves more than just your body.
Join us. Sign up, donate, or share the campaign today. Why I Move
People join Move for More for many different
reasons. “I joined Move for More to honour women I love whose lives have been turned upside down by breast cancer. Last year, a close friend of mine lost her sister just shy of the five-year remission mark. She left behind two young daughters without their amazing mother. Around the same time, another beautiful woman in my life learned her cancer had returned and was suddenly facing the fight all over again. It felt deeply unfair. These women inspired me to take part in Move for More - to help spread the word about Inflammatory Breast Cancer and raise funds for research that could help more women in the future. I ran a 5K race in honour of Catherine and Daniella. When it started to feel hard, I reminded myself why I was doing it - and kept going. I ended up smiling the whole way and even ran a personal best! I hope I can continue to support initiatives like this where advocacy for rare types of breast cancer like IBC is front and centre. It’s something all Canadian women should know.” — Andrea Sluga What’s your reason? Join us this May.

The 3 Things That Help Participants Raise the Most
People are much more likely to donate when they understand why you’re participating and see your progress.
1. Share your “why.”
Tell people why Move for More matters to you. Personal posts
inspire more support than general announcements.
2. Post early and post a few times.
Most donations happen after people see a campaign shared
multiple times throughout the month.
3. Ask directly.
A simple message like “If you’re able to support my
challenge, every donation helps.” can make a big difference.
4. It’s not only about donations.
Raising awareness matters too. If people aren’t able to donate,
encourage them to share your post or help spread the word
about inflammatory breast cancer. Every conversation helps
increase awareness and move this work forward.
