Georgia Lloyd and Always Home Homecare support the CIBC Run for the Cure

Always Home Homecare helps local team raise money for CIBC Run for the Cure

Sept. 14, 2012 - PRLog -- Breast cancer is a complex disease that will affect one in nine women during their lifetime. For 2012, it is estimated that 22,700 Canadian women and 200 Canadian men will be diagnosed with breast cancer. The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation has been at the forefront of a nation-wide movement to raise awareness about breast cancer since 1986. A group of women founded it, after seeing too many friends and family members being diagnosed with a disease that most women were embarrassed to talk about. Their vision was to bring a voice to those affected by breast cancer, and to dedicate funding to breast cancer specific research. Today it has become the leading organization in Canada dedicated to a future without breast cancer.
Always Home Homecare,  an at home homecare business which assists people in maintaining their independence by placing a care worker with them in their home to help out, was compelled to donate to the CIBC Run for the Cure for two reasons. Over the years there have been clients who have battled breast cancer, and Georgia Lloyd and Always Home Homecare wanted to make a donation in their honour. Additionally, the majority of the staff is women, several who have been directly impacted by breast cancer, either through their own battles or through family and friends.
The CIBC Run for the Cure is Canada’s largest single day, volunteer-led fundraising event dedicated to raising funds for breast cancer research, education and awareness. Several events are held across the country, and participants can participate individually or within a team.
Last year alone, the CIBC Run for the Cure raised over 30 million dollars for Breast Cancer research. It also reached International soil last year with the first international Run site being held, in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation is extremely grateful for any and all support. To donate, please visit http://www.cbcf.org/atlantic/GetInvolved/Donate/Pages/def...
