S Oakville resident taking on inaugural OneWalk to eradicate all cancers Despite this story, I've seen the benefits of supporting cancer research, as a coworker and my grandmother both survived breast cancer after undergoing successful treatment. My coworker, also know as "my work mom," suffered from breast cancer four years ago. She underwent a mastectomy, radiation and chemotherapy. This year marks five years in remission for her. My grandmother had breast cancer, too. She had a lumpectomy, chemotherapy and radiation to treat the disease. She survived breast cancer for 20 years. Before her passing, she was diagnosed with kidney cancer, which ultimately took her life. She died two months after my grandfather, whom she was married to for 66 years. Seeing these important women in my life having survived showed me that others can, too. No cancer diagnosis is the same and that's why it's so important to support worldchanging research. see `Challenge on p.34 Health 33 | Thursday, September 10, 2015 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com "Connected to your Community" ince I was 21-years-old, I have been walking to conquer cancer. Now at age 29, I have walked more than 480 kilometres in support of Princess Margaret Cancer Centre's goal to conquer the disease in our lifetime. In eight years, I managed to raise more than $20,000 for The Princess Margaret, each cent immediately being put to use at the world-renowned cancer centre in Toronto, saving lives and helping families from all over Canada. I'm not the only one who is committed to this cause, though. Since 2003, more than 50,000 people have walked and raised more than $148 million for The Princess Margaret, helping the cancer centre lead the revolution in personalized cancer medicine. My family and friends have been touched by cancer -- like many others who walk with me each year. I lost whom I call my second mom to cancer. She was my best friend's mom, and my mom's best friend. She battled through the disease for a long, Oakville resident Becky Whelpdale and her team -- The Desperate for a Cure Housewives -- are participating in the inaugural Shoppers Drug Mart OneWalk to Conquer Cancer event Saturday (Sept. 12), benefitting the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. | submitted photo hard year.
