According to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, 1 in 9 women in Canada will somehow be affected by the disease within her lifetime. A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of lending a hand on behalf of Revlon at the  ‘Think Pink’ event and later for the CBCF CIBC Run for the Cure. Both of these events were aimed at both raising awareness and much needed funds for cancer research. It was truly an honour and inspiration to have been involved.

Run Day was a blast! The weather cooperated and everyone was out determined to play their role in making cancer a thing of the past. I’ve taken part in the run in previous years to support family and friends who have been touched by this horrible disease. However, this year I had the pleasure of volunteering with Team Revlon. Revlon was on site selling product gift bags valued at $250 for a only $20, with all proceeds going to support the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. The bags were a hot item and sold out in no time! The entire day was a success and I was so overjoyed to have been apart of it.

Rallying together in support of such a great cause brings the community even closer together. I believe with ongoing support efforts, I will surely witness the end of cancer within my lifetime!
