I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in November of 2007. I was shocked but determined to win this battle that was before me. I went through 2 months of radiation and 6 months of chemotherapy. I celebrated my first year of remission on January 25th of this year.

Three days after I was diagnosed I started running so I would be in good shape to win the fight of my life. Today, I still run and am entering my first 5K run on May 31 in Toronto. I fought like hell to stay alive and I plan on staying that way. I had a wonderful support system and I am here to share my story with those who want to hear it. Cancer will not bring me down.
