health. Her face is colored by
the outdoors. Her nylon track
suit is emblematic of an
active life.

But on closer look one
views the impact that cancer
has made on this thoughtiul
and caring person.

Her T-shirt bears the
image of Picasso's Woman,
an illustration from Lions
Bay author — Rosalind
MacPhee's telling account of
her own battle with breast
cancer. In discussion, she
reveals that she has just lost
two close friends to breast
cancer (MacPhee is one) and
emotionally she is feeling
Spent.

It couldn't come at a bet-
ter time then that she receive
some public recognition for
her volunteer activities
through the Canadian Cancer
Society (CCS) and for
orchestrating the platinum-
selling benetit CD dn
Between Dances.

“Jacki is nothing short of
- inspirational,” says Barbara

Kaminsky, CEO of CCS’s
B.C. and Yukon division,
_which is why on June 7
- Ralph Jamieson will travel to
Toronto to receive the soci-
- ety’s Medal of Courage.

Volunteer Award: Medal and
Certificate of Honour before
Parliament in Ottawa,

She is flattered by the
accolades but is mindful that
they don't draw attention
away from the disease.

“{ don't do it for medals. |
do it for action and results,"
says the national spokesman
for CCS. She was to fill
those shoes just for the
month of October, which is
internationally recognized as
breast cancer awareness
month, but they fit so com-
fortably that crusading for
cancer awareness has
become a full-time job.

She has appeared on TV
and radio, and spoken at
forums and fundraising
events but the project that is
closest to her heart is the CD.

Since its release last
September it has sold more
than 100,000 copies and
raised $500,000 for breast
cancer research.

Ralph Jamieson used her
influence as former lead
singer with The Bells, a
Montreal-based group whose
"70s hit Stay Awhile. rose to
No. 3.0n Billboard, . to
approach 17 Canadian
recording artists, all women.

“I would love to say it
was tough,” she says with a
warm, tinkly laugh, but it
wasn't. Nabody said no.

nod to the project. The
Rankin Family agreed, as did
k.d. lang, who donated the
hit single Constant Craving.
Celine Dion, Rita MacNeil,
Alannah Myles and Michelle
Wright are also on the CD.

Ralph Jamieson wrote
two tracks for In Between
Dances but response was so
great that there was only
enough space for one, the
cover tune, which carries her
message: .

“itis my wish that those
women who are currently

living with breast cancer and
are ‘in between dances,’ with
spirits flagging and energy
waning, will continue to find
the courage to dance.”

Jacki, take a bow.

In Between Dances is
available at major record
outlets, most Wal-Mart stores
and through the Canadian
Cancer Society in Vancouver
at 872-4400. Its price,
depending on the retail out-
let, is approximately $15,

going directly ta breast can-
cer research through the
Canadian Breast’ Cancer
Research Initiative.
