“When I was diagnosed, I hadn’t even heard of myeloma before and hardly knew what questions to ask, but I knew I wanted to do everything I could to survive."

The weekend before she was admitted into Princess Margaret Hospital to start a clinical trial Bonnie heard about Dry Feb. She mentioned it to her sister-in-law Lee, who immediately agreed to do it with her, and a few other friends joined in shortly after.

“We all signed up together. It was something fun and different to engage and inspire people to direct their money to making a difference while giving me the chance to reset my relationship with alcohol”.
“Any initiative that supports raising funds to further Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) research is of interest to me. My life depends on new treatment and innovation."
