Support Team Iron Mountain Movement in the Weekend to End Breast Cancer

Words from Team Captain Connie Hol..

In the winter of 2006 I joined the trail running group. Since that time, I have been fortunate to have met some very wonderful people and have made some great friendships. Keri was always an inspiration and provided encouragement and support to everyone who has registered with her clinics.

On April 3, 2009, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer. In the last year I have undergone lymph node surgery, 8 rounds of chemotherapy, a double mastectomy and 28 radiation treatments. I continued to run throughout my treatments, albeit very slowly toward the end of chemo. Keri also encouraged and supported me to complete the ½ marathon in San Francisco last October (2 days prior to my 8th and final chemotherapy treatment).

Last year my daughter, Corrie raised over $3,500.00 and walked in the Weekend Walk to End Breast Cancer. My family and friends all supported her and were very proud of her accomplishment. This year, my daughter, myself, Angela Lamb, Shannon Stephenson, Gisele Pomerleau and 4 other women have formed a team under Iron Mountain Movement and are committed to raise $2,000.00 each towards this worthwhile cause. If you would like to make a donation, please click here to see our team page.

Each of the members of this team has been touched by this disease either through family members or friends and I am sure that you have as well.

We will be walking together to support the BC Cancer Foundation to provide medical and emotional support to women going through this journey to continue their research on finding a cure for this disease.

I would like to thank everyone in the running group that supported me emotionally throughout this last year and thank Iron Mountain Movement for sponsorship.
