Sponsored by CIBC, annual run is Canada’s largest single-day, volunteer-led initiative in support of the breast cancer research and other programs
The Canadian Cancer Society and CIBC are inviting residents of Sault Ste. Marie to lace up their shoes and come together to make a difference for those impacted by breast cancer at the 32nd annual Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure on Sunday, Oct. 1.
“Thanks to our supporters and partners in communities like Sault Ste. Marie, important progress is being made in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of breast cancer. Proceeds raised at last year’s run are now supporting researchers to develop an immunotherapy vaccine to treat triple negative breast cancer, one of the most difficult to treat types of breast cancer, and many other promising CCS-funded research projects.
Over the last five years, CCS has invested $62.6 million in breast cancer research across the country. Today, 89% of women and 80% of men with breast cancer survive at least five years past their diagnosis, the CCS said. Since the peak of breast cancer in 1986, the death rate for Canadians with breast cancer has been nearly cut in half.
For the past 27 years, CIBC has partnered with CCS, helping transform the run into a nationwide breast cancer movement. Since 1997, more than 10,000 CIBC employees each year have volunteered, fundraised and run in communities across the country. To date, Team CIBC has raised over $60 million.
