For the past 6 years our very own $
Moonbeam13 has been involved in supporting and raising money for
The Weekend To End Breast Cancer event in Toronto.
She has done this in a fairly quiet and discreet way so we felt it was time to shed a bit more light on what exactly she does for this great cause.
To give a bit of background, in the past 5 years this organization has raised over 70 million dollars in donations and through this has made some landmark strides in advancing the research on breast cancer, which claims the lives of close to 50,000 women a year and about a quarter million women diagnosed per year. You can read about how the money has been allocated
hereThis money does make a big difference in helping with in depth gene studies and creating specialized programs for people diagnosed with the disease.
The Weekend To End Breast Cancer takes place all across Canada. In Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Montreal, and her hometown of Toronto, where for the last 5 years and soon to be 6, she has participated in the 60k walk alongside her mom (=
mombeam).
Together they have walked 300kms in the fight to end breast cancer (that's 193 miles for you Americans)
To participate in the walk, each person must raise $2000 to qualify and that is no easy task in and of itself. This year, =
mombeam and $
Moonbeam13 will be joined by *
theblackmass as well, so that's $6000 in total they need to raise between them and they need your help!
