Hello All,

My family wanted to start a fundraising campaign in honour of 2 of the strongest women we have the pleasure to have known for quite a while, Katie and Brooke Thomas.  

These very strong sisters have endured more than most could ever imagine.  Their journey began when Katie was diagnosed at 3yrs old with AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia).  She was 20 years cancer free in the spring of 2021 and a short while after celebrating this milestone her sister Brooke was diagnosed with ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) just after her 21st birthday.

Brooke fought through her treatment, like a rockstar and thankfully she was given the cancer free ‘Thumbs up” in the summer of 2022.  

Unfortunately for the family, cancer has reared it’s ugly, awfulness once again for Katie.  In October 2022 Katie was hospitalized for multiple cancerous tumours in her abdomen. Katie bravely lost her battle on Dec 29, 2022.  She leaves a legacy like no other.  To say these women are an inspiration is an understatement.

My family has had the pleasure of being friends with their entire family and we would love to see everyone, and anyone donate whatever you can to help raise money to fight this horrid disease.  No family should have to undergo this journey.  

Donations will go straight to the Cancer Society, and I have asked that the funds go towards Leukemia research.  We are so incredibly fortunate for the Doctors and Nurses that have helped these lovely ladies. Please consider donating through Canada Blood services too!

Thank you to everyone!
