Eileen Rogers<\/strong><\/p>

In 2014, Eileen was diagnosed with a rare spinal cord tumor at the base of her brainstem. As a proud single mother of four, Eileen refused to let it defeat her. She undertook a risky but successful surgery and life continued as normal for a while before a breast cancer diagnosis shockingly hit her in 2025. Currently in treatment, Eileen finds strength in sharing her cancer journey online and is building a community where she inspires others to feel seen, supported and empowered.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Amanda Henderson<\/strong><\/p>

In 2023, Amanda asked for an early mammogram after witnessing a colleague receive a diagnosis at a young age. It was this act that caught her breast cancer at the age of 47. Fearing how to tell her three children, Amanda relied on the support of Wellspring\u2019s family counselling to help navigate her discussions. She also credits Healing Journey for playing a major factor in her recovery. Amanda is walking today to encourage and remind everyone to get screened and be proactive in managing your health.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After losing her mother to cancer in 2024, Marina was shocked to receive her own breast cancer diagnosis just three months later.

Brittany Keenan<\/strong><\/p>

As an active person who loves skiing and hiking, Brittany was shocked to find herself diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2025 after experiencing unusual bleeding. As a CPA and Partner at EY, Brittany began doing the math, trying to calculate how to balance work, treatment and continuing to be there for her husband and two kids. Throughout her journey, the biggest lesson Brittany learned was that self-care is not a task to be scheduled; listening to your body is the greatest gift you can give yourself.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Banu Karan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Banu’s journey through cancer has been one of courage, humility and transformation. After being diagnosed with a rare skin cancer in 2024, and inspired by her mother, a cancer survivor, she faced profound changes including the loss of her nose. Once fiercely independant, Banu has learned the strength that comes from asking for help and allowing others to walk alongside her. Through this experience, she has discovered that life is meant to be shared. Sharing our stories, expressing ourselves, and accepting support can be deeply healing and liberating. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In 2021, Julia collapsed and was rushed to the ER, resulting in a lymphoma diagnosis. With the COVID-19 pandemic in full force, Julia made the difficult choice to live apart from her daughters for a portion of her treatment. After chemotherapy, blood transfusions, and surgery, Julia says that cancer has taught her strength she didn\u2019t know she had. Walking today with daughters Livvy and Lyla Rae, Julia says if you\u2019re going through cancer, do not give up. There is so much to live for beyond your diagnosis.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Christina Smith <\/strong><\/p>

After losing her mother and three sisters to cancer, Christina found herself with her own breast cancer diagnosis. She says she leaned into the most important lesson she learned from\u00a0them:\u00a0perseverance. For the last 13 years, Christina has led Wellspring in the role of CEO. Her leadership has shaped not only the organization but impacted countless individuals living with cancer across Canada. As she retires\u00a0this year to spend more time with her family, including\u00a0her husband\u00a0who dealt with\u00a0his own cancer diagnosis,\u00a0she does so with\u00a0immense gratitude and joy.\u00a0Today she walks as a leader,\u00a0survivor\u00a0and a testament to resilience.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
