Moose Jaw Times-Herald: Lisa's Corner: Remembering to never forget

By Lisa Goudy


A lot of big events are happening this weekend.

With Relay for Life and Concert of Hope people are encouraged to go out and support cancer survivors and research as well as the Moose Jaw Health Foundation. Plus there is Decoration Day on Sunday. These are all causes and stories we need to support, to hear and to always remember.

Cancer still remains one of the most common causes of death in Canada and the world. Hospital equipment and all the other good work the health foundation does is also very important.

Cancer survivor stories are always heartfelt and good stories to hear, no matter how sad. Earlier this week I interviewed a mother whose daughter, now in remission, was diagnosed with cancer at age three months.

As sad as the story is, it’s also a touching story because her daughter has been cancer-free for more than a year. She has a team in this year’s Relay for Life.
