The Cause
Cancer
If we’ve learned anything during this COVID-19 Pandemic, it’s that if we come together as a society, we can tackle anything quickly for the greater good.
As a disease that 2 in 5 Canadians get diagnosed with in their lifetimes, and something that indirectly impacts the lives of countless loved ones (family/friends/coworkers of cancer patients), I could not think of a better place to focus on my philanthropic efforts.
This especially became apparent when my mother was diagnosed with this disease in April 2021. As someone who’s going through this situation, I know how difficult it is, and I know this is something we need to rid this world of.
And for this reason, I intend to commit a percentage of my Real Estate earnings to funding Cancer Research, so that the survival rate of others like my mother can be greatly improved!
Commitment to Fight Cancer
In 2021, thanks to the support received from my clients, I was able to donate $50,000 to the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation (PMCF) to use towards Cancer Research. The donation made in 2021 was made in honour of my mother beating her fight against cancer.

In 2022, the goal is to only increase this amount further, and make an even greater impact, in hopes that there will be more survivors who will be able to beat this disease, win the battle, and be able to spend their time with their loved ones!
