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!.

Charity: water

This short blog post is dedicated for the non-profit organization charity: water. This organization strives to bring clean water to everyone since members believe that everyone deserves it. Charity: water is focused on collecting funds in order to implement clean water projects which they prove through geo-tagged photos once completed.

I invite you to take some time to go through the short set of photos that I referred to below in order to get idea of the valuable help that these projects offer to those people that do not have access to clean water. Please support this non-profit organization either through following them on their social media channels or by giving a donation.
