Baljot Mangat is one of the most inspiring teens we know. At 18 years old, not only is she one of the youngest Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure Run Directors, she also organized her own annual event that raised $7,000 for the breast cancer cause.

When I was told to write a story about my mother, it never occurred to me how difficult it would be to express her pain. Three years ago, my mother felt a lump (in her breast) and ignored it. As months passed she continued to feel the lump growing…and we all ignored it. I’m South Asian and in my community there is a lot of fear, lack of knowledge and embarrassment surrounding breast cancer.

We will be running in the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure again this year as we have in the past. We actually run for all those affected by breast cancer but especially for my wife, Shirley, who has been affected by breast cancer since 2003 and has had a full reconstruction on her left side.
