Together we can

Every year, first weekend of October, we Canadians get together, we wear the white and pink and occupy almost every major city's core downtown of the whole country. We may run, or we walk, along the busiest street.We hold the signs; we cheer and we smile all the way for 5 kilometers. This is the "Run For The Cure", a yearly fundraising event for Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF). Together we raised millions to support our researchers to develop the new technologies to fight the cancer.

• 1 in 4 (26%) cancers diagnosed in women in Canada are breast cancer
• 1 in 9 Canadian women is expected to develop breast cancer during her lifetime
• 1 in 30 women in Canada will die from breast cancer

But we never give up the hope. We raised $21.5 million in 2015. This money was used to fund the research programs in the breast cancer surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and HR-2 therapy. With the help from everyone of us, we bring the average 5-year survival rate to 88%, and we know we can make it even better. Thanks to the ones who join us. You can see the proud of us with my video ad.

Together we run; Together we engage; Together we develop the technology to save the life!.
