Amodeo had been diag- nosed with one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer just two months pri- or and opted to sit on the side and cheer on her team- mates at the finish line. Six years later it's going to be a lot different, said the 58-year-old cancer survivor, who along with about 35 of her family and friends dubbed the 'Optometry Rack Pack' will be taking part in this Sunday's walk in Kitchener. With about $8,000 raised already this year, the team comprised of members from the University of Wa- terloo's School of Optome- try will surpass the $60,000 mark in this their sixth Run for the Cure. "The event is one of, I think, the most special events that I've been to, and the feeling when you go is such positive energy," Amo- deo said. "You might think there's a lot of people deal- ing with cancer, obviously going though treatment and not feeling well, but they're there, and the feel- ing of hope and the energy of it - it doesn't matter if it's pouring rain. It's just amaz- ing." Her 14-month ordeal with cancer that resulted in a mastectomy, weeks of hor- mone therapy and pre-emp- tive chemo, is now in the rear-view mirror. But she said cancer has left her grateful for the family and friends who surrounded her with support through- out treatments and after- wards. Amodeo, who is unmar- ried and doesn't have chil- dren, and said long-dis- tance relatives and work colleagues really stepped up during her illness. "So many positive things have come out of it," she said. "I'm very grateful for things and I try not to sweat the small stuff anymore." CIBC has been a commit- ted partner of the run for more than two decades, helping to raise $430 million during that time, which has enabled investments in promising research, as well as information and support programs to ensure no one faces breast cancer alone, said Lynne Hudson, presi- dent and CEO of the Canadi- an Cancer Society. According to a press re- lease, breast cancer contin- ues to be the most common- ly diagnosed cancer among Canadian women with one in eight expected to be diag- nosed in their lifetime. But thanks to donors and trail- blazing events like the CIBC Run for the Cure, invest- ments in cancer research are making a difference. Mortality rates for breast cancer are 44 per cent lower than their peak in the mid 1980s and approximately 87 oer cent of people diagnosed with breast cancer are ex- pected to live five years be- yond their diagnoses. On Sept. 30, an estimated 80,000 Canadians are expec- ted to come together in 56 communities across the country to support breast cancer research in the larg- est, single-day, volunteer- led event. The Kitchener run will be held at the Running Room, 500 Fairway Rd. S, with registration at 8 a.m. and opening ceremonies a 9 a.m. The five-kilometer run begins at 10 a.m. with the one-kilomtere trek taking of at 10:20 a.m. Awards and closing ceremonies will fol- low.
