"Belonging to CAPO has given me the opportunity to share my story, my daughter Shan’s story, and the work of Team Shan Breast Cancer Awareness for Young Women. CAPO connections have opened the door to both provincial and national AYA cancer initiatives allowing me to make a difference for AYA across Canada. My most meaningful experience was the 2019 conference in Banff. I was honoured to be selected as one of the recipients of the Patients Included award for my family advocacy work. I continue to share Team Shan efforts to address disparities in young women with breast cancer, and reduce help seeking barriers to an earlier diagnosis. I speak for young women not yet diagnosed and voices that can no longer be heard."
