What an exciting day for all who have a passion to do something important to conquer ALL Women’s Cancers. Starting at 6am this morning, we welcomed CP24 into the Princess Margaret and had walkers, dancers, patients, docs, and a representative of Shoppers Drug Mart talk to our exciting launch of this years walk. This year we have a BRAND NEW WEEKEND. First, we have opened fundraising to include gynecological cancers as well as breast cancer. Much needed funding will flow to ovarian and gyny cancer research and continue to flow to important breast cancer research, survivorship, and new clinical initiatives. Second, we have introduced a ONE DAY walk to complement our two day walk. So you can choose to walk 30km and do the one day walk or 60kms and do the traditional two day walk. Third, we have a new NATIONAL SPONSOR and we are thrilled Shoppers Drug Mart has stepped up as national sponsor. We are grateful to Shoppers and their fine staff for this leadership and support.
At 1pm, we had launch events in Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton, and Montreal. Below are photos of our Toronto launch and you can read the press release here. Thanks to all who have supported this extraordinary initiative. The Brand New Weekend is full of new innovation and passion and challenge and fun. So don’t delay, sign up today at www.endcancer.ca. Step up and step forward and step out for ALL WOMEN’S CANCERS. Start fundraising, sign up friends and associates and start those training walks! Can’t wait for September 11th and 12th for the actual walk….it will be HISTORIC! Create and team and create the change we all want to see!
