This will be the second year for the OneWalk For Cancer event. It raised almost $1 million last year. The money goes toward research, clinical trials, and enhanced care programs. When participants register they can select which cancer fund their fundraising will support.
Malhi explains her interest in cancer research on her page. "My first personal experience with cancer was my grandmother. She was diagnosed with her second battle of bowel cancer in her 80's. It had already spread through her body and 6 months later she passed away. My grandmother had survived her first go around with bowel cancer years earlier allowing her to meet her great grandchildren before passing on.
Secondly, I work in health care and everyday I meet someone who is being diagnosed with cancer, managing cancer treatments, or dieing due to cancer. These people become an inspiration to my life. They become family as they walk me through their hopes and struggles. Raising money and walking 25k is a small way I am able to give back to each person who has touched my life. Please help me help support someone you know too!
I will Walk united with a powerful community of survivors and supporters who have fundraised and trained to participate. Together we will march 25km through Calgary, sharing moments and celebrating what we have achieved."
