My name is Chloe Corrado and I am 14 years old. Five months ago, my mother passed away from stage four breast cancer. She had been battling it for five years and had suffered a great deal. Last year, in 2007, I participated in the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure for the first time with a small team of only 15 people. This year, I decided to do the Run again, but this time, it would be much bigger, in memory of my mother, a woman who was very extravagant and she was always heard. And so, a few moths before the Run, I started fundraising and recruiting teammates. I never thought that Team Mylene would turn out so big. On Run day, we counted 140 Team Mylene members, ranging from ages 5 to 60 and we had raised a great amount of money. Even though I do not have the exact amount, we do know that we raised over $10,000 and I raised something like $4,000.
I am very proud of all the Team Mylene team members who participated and helped us. I especially want to thank my cousin and my father, who were a great help through a very stressful organization and I also want to thank the 40 or 50 students from my school who walked and all the teachers who helped make it possible.

Thank you Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation for supporting such a great cause.
