Here is Rebecca’s story:

“In September 2009, I first signed up to participate in this 60 km, 2 day walk with a group of friends from “Apple Country” as a way to raise money for a good cause and make some healthy changes for myself too. Cancer had touched both my mother and grandmother, so I felt I had a personal connection to this cause. Little did I know….

Three months later, just before Christmas, I was devastated to receive some shocking news… at 36 years old, I was diagnosed with an advanced form of invasive ductal breast cancer.

It is now February and I am 8 weeks in to a 16-week course of chemotherapy. I still have surgeries, radiation, more chemo and ongoing therapies to face over the next year or so, but I also have hope. The treatments available now are so much more advanced and humane than were once offered and every day they are working towards finding a cure. I don’t ever want my sister, my daughter or my niece to have to travel this road.

I have had times of grief, anger, frustration and pain, but I am comforted by the fact that I am surrounded by such an incredible “team”. My family, friends, and community have stepped in to help with EVERYTHING. Clinton, the children and I feel blessed to have such support during this time.

I am committed to finishing this walk in September, no matter what part of the journey I am on at the time. These women, including my sister and four friends, continue to encourage and inspire me, providing me with laughter and love at every step. It’s just a matter of putting one foot in front of the other and not giving up – it’s what I intend to do.”

I am going to do whatever I can to help my friend raise money for her team, and to ensure they are able to participate in the upcoming walk.  If you know a woman, maybe you will be inspired to help to. 

Here are a few of the photos from our session, and if you are interested in donating to the team, please click here.
