I'm supporting Canadian Cancer Society! In trusted partnership with donors and volunteers, we improve the lives of all those affected by cancer through world-class research, transformative advocacy and compassionate support.

To celebrate 8 months in remission I’m combing my mission to help others & my love of fancy dress in an Ovarian Cancer Fashionista Fundraiser!!! Every time it grows by $500, I’ll post a selfie in a smashing outfit on the breakwater! Please share! ❤️ #yyj #fuckcancer tinyurl.com/Jean-Fundrai...
