I’m taking part in the Plunge for the Cure in honour of my dear friend Tania, who we lost in December 2024 after her incredibly brave fight against ovarian cancer. She was a devoted mother of three and meant so much to so many. Her children and family are joining in as well, and together we’re doing this to honour her strength, her love, and everything she gave to those around her. We all want to come together to support this cause, raise awareness, and help make a difference for other families facing this disease. If you’re able, please consider donating or joining us for the plunge—your support would truly mean a lot. 

A big thank you to Mandy for welcoming us onto her Plunge team and for the incredible work, time, and dedication she has put into raising funds for this important cause. Your commitment and leadership mean so much, and we’re truly grateful to be part of this alongside you. 

We are excited to #TakethePlunge on Sunday, May 31st, 2026 to help raise funds for drug and treatment development for ovarian cancer through the world-renowned UBC/VGH research facilities in Vancouver.

I need your help to make a difference in the lives of those affected by this disease. Can you support me by making a donation to my fundraising page today? With your help, we can reach our goal and make a significant impact in the fight against ovarian cancer.

Thank you for your support and for helping #CrushOvarianCancer!
