Natasha Kennedy story

This year I am choosing to run in the 5k run /walk in Kingston hoping to raise money for breast cancer.

I am running for my mom, I am running for me!

As many of my closest friends know my mom had breast cancer and then again 20 years later lung cancer. It changed my families lives.

3 years ago I got accepted into the Ontario high breast screening program where they have done countless genetic tests and they truely take some of my worries away with their yearly mammograms, ultrasounds and MRIs. All of this completely free to someone like myself who is at higher risk of developing breast cancer as it has affected multiple generations of women in my family.

This year alone I had a MRI, 2 mammograms, an ultrasound and a MRI guided biopsy after they found two masses in my left breast . The compassionate care I received from the many nurses, doctors and specialists I encountered has really struck me hard. This is why I choose to fundraise and run this year. To support the research with breast cancer, to continue to fund the genetic department and all the machines and equipment that are needed to fight this cancer. This also helps to cover the many people who are looking for a cure for this cancer and for those who help the ones who are affected by it.

Please consider donating and helping me to reach my goal. If you are interested in helping me to raise money or join me on my “Team Pink” I have the support of 4 others : Alycia Wicks, Kortney Virginia Cox, Judy Barlow, and Erica who are choosing to join me on Oct 4th on my run/ walk.

Thank you for listening. - Natasha

Lesley DiPaolo Story

Thousands of women and men are diagnosed with breast cancer every year in Canada. I was one of those women. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2021. I have participated in the Run for the Cure for the last 5 years with amazing support from my family, friends and community. It has been truly remarkable to me that my personal fundraising efforts have surpassed $2500 each year. Because of this, I have been able to designate the funds to an area that is meaningful to me within the breast cancer cause. I hope I am able to do that again this year!

This year's Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure is on Sunday, October 4, 2026.

Please donate today. I believe better treatment options and survival outcomes are possible. Together, we can give Canadians impacted by breast cancer a reason to have hope.

Thank you! I sincerely appreciate your support.

Cheryl Benoit-cameron Story

The Run for the Cure is deeply personal to me. It has been since the day I heard the words,“You have breast cancer.

Sadly, too many women hear those very same words every day.

My journey has not been linear, easy or predictable, but I am one of the fortunate ones. I am here today, filled with gratitude, hope, and a deeper appreciation for the gift of each new day.

I run to celebrate the life I fought for, and the hope that carried me through my darkest days.

I run in honour of those we have lost, and in support of those who are currently facing the fight of their lives.

I run to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research. Research saves lives; I know this firsthand because it helped save mine.

Because of research and the generosity of donors, treatments have advanced significantly. The exceptional care I received at The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre is a testament to that progress. However, our work is not finished.

On October 4, I will be back at the start line, running with hope, raising funds, and advocating for a future where no one must hear the words,“You have breast cancer.”

Together, we are stronger than cancer. Together, we are creating hope, advancing research, and changing lives.

Thank you for your generosity, your support, and for standing with everyone affected by breast cancer. Every contribution makes a difference and brings us one step closer to a world without breast cancer.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Cheryl
