Breast cancer is one of the most common cancer diagnosis in Canadian women over the age of 20, a diagnosis that is becoming too popular amongst young women whom are embarrassed to talk about it. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month which focuses on bringing a voice to breast cancer survivors, family members and friends, raise funds for breast cancer research, and increase awareness, detection, and education of breast cancer.

LiUNA's fearless and charitable women are embracing LiUNA power and running for a cure in Ottawa and Toronto. The run for cure was dedicated to all LiUNA Members and their families on behalf of Linda Corsi in Ottawa. LiUNA Local 1110 Nancy Guzzo and Tana Torch also participated in a "Weekend to End Women's Cancer" walking over 32 km for cancer research. The weekend raised over 7.7 million dollars. LiUNA applauds all of your endless support and dedication to your community and charitable foundations.
