The importance of research An inspiring testimony by Evelyne Sauvé

In the summer of 2021, during the height of the pandemic, Evelyne was diagnosed with breast cancer. Despite this shocking news, Evelyne made a decision to keep living her life and to stay active in order to maintain her mental health and that of her loved ones. In February 2022, after undergoing two surgeries she learned that there were no traces of cancer in her body. Ever since, Evelyne has been grateful to be alive because of the scientific breakthroughs that spared her life and works alongside the CCS to tell her story and share this message.
“It’s important for me to be involved in this Daffodil Ball campaign with the Canadian Cancer Society because it’s thanks to research that I’m still here today. It is thanks to research breakthrough that the doctors knew so much about my breast cancer. It was diagnosed earlier and treated more effectively as a result. I am asking for your help and generosity so that people like me can continue to live a long and full life after a cancer diagnosis.”

People with cancer need you now more than ever. Support the 30th edition of the Daffodil Ball today and help us build hope.
