Melanie's Trees of Caring Fundraiser for CMH, 14 October 2021
For 33 years community donors have lit up the trees in front of Cambridge Memorial Hospital, with generous donations...often in honour of loved ones. Trees of Caring donations fund tools and equipment for Cambridge Memorial Hospital.

Story

Every survivor will recall what was happening in their life the moment they learned they had breast cancer. I was away from my family, at a sales meeting. I had just turned the big 5-0 and was looking forward to a Caribbean trip with friends. 

I had discovered the lump on my own and would soon move forward with a full mastectomy and breast reconstruction at CMH, followed by months of chemo and bloodwork.

Thankfully, I entrusted my surgeries and recovery to Dr. Heather MacLeod, Dr. Katherine Sawa and the Medical Day Care team at Cambridge Memorial Hospital. 

Today… I am cancer-free!

Now I want to ensure that other patients have the same access to care that I did. Help me in my quest to raise $15,000 for Cambridge Memorial Hospital! Please consider a donation to this year's Trees of Caring campaign for CMH.

Thank you!!
