Support Martine in Her Fight Against Stage 4 Breast Cancer

If you’ve had the pleasure of knowing Martine, you know she is truly a bright light in this world. Whether through local events, dance competitions, or as a client at massage therapy school in Kelowna, Martine has always shown up for others with warmth, kindness, and unwavering support. Now, we are asking for your help in showing up for her.

This past December (2024), Martine was hospitalized with a respiratory infection and a collapsed lung. What initially seemed like a treatable condition quickly turned into a devastating diagnosis: Stage 4 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. Further scans revealed three lesions on her breast, two on her ribs, and one on either side of her sacrum. She will now be undergoing extensive treatment through BC Cancer in Kelowna.

Martine is not only a beloved friend but also a devoted mother to her beautiful daughter, Kiana, and a loving partner to Troy. As she faces this difficult journey, we want to ease the financial burden on her and her family, allowing them to focus on what truly matters—her healing and time together.

A passionate member of the Penticton Elvis Festival community, Martine has touched so many lives through her involvement in local events, wedding planning, 911 dispatching, and most recently, as a massage therapist. She has always been the first to check in on others, offering kindness and support without hesitation.

Now, it’s our turn to rally around her. Medical bills and unexpected expenses are quickly adding up. We are raising funds to help support Martine and her family during this incredibly challenging time. Every donation, big or small, will make a meaningful difference in their lives.

If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page to help spread the word. Let’s show Martine the same love, strength, and support she has given to so many.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
