BREAST cancer is the leading cause of
death among women between the ages
of 35 and 49 in Canada. While
advances in research are made every
day, we are still far from a cure.

“Funds are always needed for research, espe-
cially since there are many different cancers,” says
Sally Sapinsky, former president of the West Van
Unit, Canadian Cancer Sociery (CCS). “Irs not
all going to happen at one time.”

Forty-five cents from every doliar donated to
or raised by CCS goes directly to research, notes
Sapinsky, who admires the strength of breast can-
cer survivors she meets through her work with
the society’s newly formed North Shore Unit.

“When we see women handle their challenge
in such a positive way it inspires us in our
fundraising, even more,” she says.

In creating this year’s fall fashion feature, we
too were inspired by the commitment to finding
a cure. The models on the following pages are
breast cancer survivors and volunteers.
Advertisers have shown their support for the
cause by making a donation to the CCS, North
Shore Unit.

October is breast cancer awareness month.
Please do what you can to show your support.
