The Juravinski Cancer Centre’s Breast Disease Site Team hosts the inaugural Bright Run/Walk to support breast cancer research in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

BRIGHT stands for Breast Cancer Research in Greater Hamilton Today and underscores the commitment the JCC’s Breast Disease Site Team has to its patients through treatment and leading-edge research. In fact, the JCC is home to many renowned researchers whose work in clinical trials and health services research has improved and advanced the treatment of breast cancer patients locally, nationally and around the world.

BRIGHT Run participants will have the option of walking or running along the beautiful Rail Trail. Walkers can choose a 1km or 5km route and runners can choose a 5km or 10km route. There will also be many activities at the Trail Centre for participants of all ages to enjoy. Best of all, proceeds from the BRIGHT Run will benefit the JCC’s Breast Cancer Research Program.

All monies raised will stay in Hamilton and be used specifically at the Juravinski Regional Cancer Centre for breast cancer research. None of the funds will go into the Toronto program. Also - all radiation treatments for the Niagara area is done at JCC.

Why Would I Run?
My Mother is a 2 1/2 yr breast cancer survivor, and was treated in Hamilton with radiation. I am so very blessed to have my mother still with us, as we know all too well how serious cancer can be, as we lost my father to a rare cancer, the same week we found out mom’s diagnosis.

Patrick Swayze Dealing With a Deadly Form of Cancer


Cancer Newsflash:

It was reported late Wednesday afternoon that actor, Patrick Swayze, well known for his roles in “Dirty Dancing” and “Ghost”, is dealing with a deadly form of pancreatic cancer.

Contradictory to the reports on Wednesday morning from the National Enquirer that gave the impression that Patrick only had 5 weeks to live, Patrick Swayze’s doctor, George Fisher of the Stanford Cancer Center, states, “Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far.”

To read more on this story, go to:

Patrick Swayze battling a deadly form of cancer

Often times, this type of cancer is considered to be a death sentence.

Our prayers and thoughts are with Patrick and his family at this time.

Please feel free to leave your comments and notes of support in the comments section for this post!

Until next time…

Live Healthy,

Kimberly Edwards

P.S. If you have never watched Dirty Dancing or Ghost, you are really missing out on these 2 Classic movies!!! Do yourself a favor and watch them… ;D
