What we do...

Co-Founded by Suzy and Stacey, TraX4 Breast Cancer is the newest chapter to join in supporting the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation!!  All proceeds raised by this event go back directly to support those that need it most, the men & woman currently battling breast cancer!  This is how it works:

The Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation was established to help women/men who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.  Our mission is to provide financial assistance to the women/men in these situations in order to make their
fight with breast cancer a little less challenging.

When facing a breast cancer diagnosis, many patients are at a loss, not only is their world turned upside down and their health / life at risk, but many also experience financial concerns that may never have existed before and are not covered by health insurance. Loss of income, medicines, transportation cost, all of these can manifest especially those self employed or stay at home types.  Government assistance is also not available to many, especially in the early stages of cancer.

While there are many other worthwhile charities that raise money for Breast Cancer, their money does not go directly to the patient, it usually goes to research or hospitals.  We raise money that goes directly to Breast Cancer Patients, not research – DIRECTLY TO THOSE WHO NEED IT NOW!!!  Money raised by the charity is put in trust, and people make formal applications with their financial requests.  Applications can be made directly on our website Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation

 

Every week, our foundation receives 7 to 10 applications for assistance from across Canada and the need for our type of assistance is increasing rapidly.  We currently have 2 chapters for our Snow Run event, the Quebec chapter which covers Quebec applications and the Ontario chapter, which covers all of Canada, and as a result the word is also spreading which also increases our demand and quickly results in a shortage of funds.  To date over the past 11 years, we have raised over $2,600,000 and helped hundres of breast cancer patients across Canada with financial aid while battling breast cancer!

 
Some interesting facts:

  • The foundation receives an average of 10 applications per week! 
  • Breast Cancer is the most common cancer amoung Canadian Woman with an estimated 22,700 per year being diagnosed in 2009 and 5,400 dying of it
  • An estimated 180 men will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer at 50 will die of it
  • 1 in 9 woman are expected to develop Breast Cancer in her lifetime
