Support Margaret in Cancer Treatment
Donation protected
In the last weeks of 2020, our beloved friend Margaret Bérubé was out enjoying her regular winter walks with friends and celebrating the holidays with family. The new year changed things drastically for Marg when she was suddenly diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer, which had metastasized to her liver. She quickly found herself deep into the storm of the disease and the sudden debilitating symptoms and complications that came with it.
Marg is a rare and special kind of person – the kind that makes those who have her in their lives very fortunate. She radiates a wonderful energy and her smile and laugh bring her friends and family so much joy. She is all the great things – genuine, kind, caring, fun, passionate, enthusiastic, smart, funny… the list goes on! She loves musicals, 80s things, and uses freaking fantastic words like “Amazeballs!”. We just love this gal so much! Now on top of it all, she is showing us just how brave she is.
Over the first few months of 2021, Marg’s sudden advanced cancer had her in an out of hospitals countless times. She underwent surgery and battled hard to recover and become strong enough to start chemotherapy in March. Her family have been an unbelievable support system, with her sister Danielle leaving work to relocate to Peterborough to care for Marg and her sister Kathryn and dad Brendan making the trip regularly from out of town.
Many have reached out to ask how they can support Marg. These early months with the disease have been incredibly unpredictable for Marg and her family, which has made it hard to find ways for friends and family to help. Unfortunately, cancer comes not only with indescribable physical and emotional challenges, but also financial challenges. Endless medical supply bills, travel costs, and leaves from employment are only some examples. Financial donations provide a stable and valuable means for those who want to provide support. Marg’s friends have put together this GoFundMe to help provide those who want to support her a way to do so and help alleviate some of the financial stress to help her focus on her heath in this very difficult journey.
Thank you so much for your support!
