Make changing the course of cancer part of your story.
Linda (Robinson) Fast
A gift in your will to CancerCare Manitoba Foundation shapes the future of cancer breakthroughs in our province.
Diagnosed with cancer not once, but four times, Linda is dedicated to giving back to others facing a cancer diagnosis by making a gift to CancerCare Manitoba Foundation in her will. Linda’s first experience with cancer was in her 20s when she was diagnosed and then successfully treated for cervical cancer. She was shocked when many years later in 2011 it was discovered that she had cancer in her kidney and subsequently, her liver. At the time, Linda had recently lost her brother to a rare form of cancer. Devastated, she was determined to get better as she couldn’t bear the thought of her parents losing another child to this disease.
Just a few years later Linda’s routine mammogram led to a fourth cancer diagnosis: breast cancer. Fortunately, it was found early. Thanks to decades of donor-funded research, she required minimal treatment following her surgery. Linda is grateful to donors, whose continued support of research and patient care at CancerCare Manitoba ensured she received the life-saving, research-informed care that she needed. Today, Linda is cancer-free. She continues with scans every six months and keeps busy with her family, gardening and horseback riding. When
Linda and her husband were updating their wills, Linda began thinking about her experiences with cancer. “I unfortunately know more about cancer than I would like to,” said Linda. “I want to give back. I feel good knowing that a gift in my will may help someone like me. I have been very fortunate and want to be a small part of creating success in the future.” Thanks to donors, and to Manitobans like Linda who have so generously made gifts in their wills, more people impacted by cancer will experience better outcomes and more tomorrows with the people they love.
