Support our Relay for Life Team
Daffodils are out in full force right now, and every time I see a daffodil it reminds me that it’s time to start getting ready for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. This is my team’s 6th year participating. Each year we raise more money than we did the previous year. This year our teams goal is $10,000 – a very lofty goal.
I have not met anyone whose life hasn’t been touched by cancer in some way – whether it’s a family member, a friend, a co-worker, or a friend of a friend. Personally, I have been touched by cancer in many facets of my life. My mother fought, and won, a battle with breast cancer 12 years ago. My father-in-law fought, and lost, his battle with colon cancer 15 years ago. My biological grandmother has also fought and lost her fight with breast cancer 40 years ago.
Most recently I watched a very close friend fight the biggest fight of her life when she battled an aggressive and rare type of inflammatory breast cancer. Today, she is winning her fight and has recently been declared cancer free.
The donations we raise in the Relay for Life go directly towards cancer research and assisting families fight this life changing, traumatic diagnosis.
I am so thankful for working with a company that supports its staff when they are going through health struggles in any capacity. Our company’s sense of compassion and desire to help those is amazing and strong. Thank you to everyone that has supported our team in the past. If you can help my team – comprised of WJS Canada staff and friends and family – please click here to make an online donation or contact Leigh Anne Tani or Michelle Gauthier at the Langley office for more information. Let’s kick cancer together! And thank you!
