SURVIVORS

The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation champions breast cancer survivors who inspire us to continue toward our vision of creating a future without breast cancer.

At the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure, breast cancer survivors are welcomed to survivor tents to connect and share stories with others whose lives have been impacted by breast cancer.

Survivor T-Shirts In celebration of survivors!  New Balance Canada is pleased to sponsor the pink survivor t-shirts for the 2012 Run for the Cure and will provide each participant who identifies as a survivor with a New Balance pink technical shirt on Run day.

Survivor Clinics In 2012, Running Room will continue their tradition of hosting survivor clinics at select stores across the country. These clinics are sponsored by New Balance Canada and FREE to women who are living with or have overcome breast cancer, to help them train for the 5k or 1k CIBC Run for the Cure. The clinics are 10 weeks in duration and are open to walkers and runners who are breast cancer survivors.

In Celebration of Survivors PANDORA joins the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation in support of their vision of creating a future without breast cancer, to help ensure every woman has even more unforgettable moments to share. This year, in celebration of their journey, we welcome survivors to visit the survivor table on Run day to learn how they can qualify for the chance to win a PANDORA bracelet. Please note that the draw prize bracelet differs from the bracelet pictured, and is valued at $225.00.

2012 Survivor Tent* Challenge

For the last two years, we have been challenging our volunteers to pink-up the survivor tables! We’ll repeat the tradition this year, in honour of our survivors. Visit our photo gallery of inspiration for a hint of what may be awaiting you on Run day 2013!
