ABOUT BREAST CANCER
Breast Cancer is the most common cancer among Canadian women. Last year, an estimated 23,200 Canadian women were diagnosed with breast cancer and 5,300 died from it. Many factors can improve a woman's risk of getting breast cancer, including sex, age and history. Through breast cancer research, early detection and breast screening have greatly increased the survival rate for this disease.
WHAT IS THE BREAST CANCER SOCIETY OF CANADA?
We are a grassroots charity that was founded in 1991 by Lawrence and Kay Greenaway after they lost their daughter Pamela Greenaway-Kohlmeier to this devastating disease. From this beginning we have evolved into one of Canada’s leading breast cancer research funding organizations, dedicated to raising funds for research across Canada to eradicate breast Cancer.
We truly believe that every dollar Canadians donate to research brings us one step closer to discovering the causes of breast cancer, better methods to prevent and detect it, treatments that are more effective and improving the quality of life for survivors.
Breast Cancer... when you hear these words do you think of the special women in your life? Is it your mom, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, best friend or wife?
Your participation and dedication to join our team at the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon will make a difference in finding a cure for the disease that women fear most ... one step at a time!
