This year in Canada, an estimated 22,200 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Of those, approximately 5,300 will die from the disease.

Many women who have won their battles, or are still fighting, participated in the Run for the Cure, which took place Oct. 1. More than 170,000 people were expected to attend nationwide in more than 50 communities.
