Breast Cancer Prevention

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

  by Amanda McNally I may just may be a control freak when it comes to certain things and I LOVE information. So, it makes perfect sense that if we know there are things we can do to help prevent something, I’m in. Knowledge is power! This year I participated in the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure for the 15th year in a row.
