RE/MAX
Continues in the Fight Against Breast Cancer
RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic Canada Inc. is proud to support breast
cancer initiatives that will make a difference through its
involvement with the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundations Ontario and
Atlantic Chapters.
RE/MAX has
partnered with CBCF in a number of ways:
Primary Prevention Research:
As a lead donor in the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation -
Ontario Chapter's Primary Prevention Research program, RE/MAX is
helping to fund research that aims to stop breast cancer before
it starts.
Primary Prevention Research studies the food we eat, the
physical activity we do, our hormones, and the environment in
which we live and work, and how they influence breast cancer
risk. The ultimate goal is to provide people with information
about how they can reduce their risk of breast cancer by making
changes in their lives.
Annual Awareness Days:
In the Atlantic provinces, RE/MAX has partnered with the
Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation - Atlantic Chapter as a
sponsor of the Annual Awareness Days which take place in seven
major Atlantic centres. The information forums help individuals
gain a better understanding of the disease facing one in eight
Atlantic women.
RE/MAX is
proud to be a part of the fight against breast cancer. Why this
cause? The disease touches the lives of many. One in nine
Canadian women will get breast cancer in their lifetime, and one
in 27 will die from it. These women are our mothers, our
daughters, our sisters. Most of us know someone whose life has
been affected by the disease.

This is RE/MAX'
chance to make a difference. Through the RE/MAX network, we reach
thousands of people each day, including our broker-owners and
agents, as well as clients, suppliers and friends. It makes sense to
utilize our resources to improve the lives of others and foster
hope.
Our support of
the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation can and does change lives.
Through the support of organizations like RE/MAX, significant
progress has been made in creating a future without breast cancer.
Since 1993, the number of new breast cancer cases diagnosed among
Canadian women each year has stayed about the same, and the number
of Canadians dying from breast cancer has been declining steadily.
The most recent actual data available, from 2000, shows the number
of Canadians dying from breast cancer is the lowest it has been
since 1950.

We, at RE/MAX
have always taken an active role in helping others in our
community. Many of us have seen, first hand, the difference we've
made. We've helped millions of children since 1992 through
Children's Miracle Network. This is our chance to strengthen
Canadian families even further. Let's make sure that our mothers,
daughters and sisters never experience the realities of life with
breast cancer. And let's not forget that men are also at risk of
developing this disease. Now is our opportunity to make a
difference. Let's help the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation
create a future without breast cancer.
Breast Care in Ontario:
Meeting the Need. RE/MAX is supporting a survey of women in
Ontario to understand public awareness, attitudes, behaviours, and
responses to breast health and breast cancer issues. This survey
is part of a multi-step research initiative called Breast Care in
Ontario: Meeting the Need. By understanding women's needs and
experiences, the Breast Care in Ontario: Meeting the Need
initiative will improve our understanding of breast health and
breast cancer care in Ontario and support the development of
strategies to potentially improve these services and programs
across the province.

Sold on a Cure
RE/MAX real estate professionals also take an active role in
creating a future without breast cancer through the RE/MAX "Sold
on a Cure" program. The program will raise vital funds and
awareness for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation in Ontario
and the Atlantic provinces.
"Sold on a
Cure" will allow RE/MAX real estate professionals to voluntarily
make a donation from the sale of each home directly to the
Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. The funds raised by "Sold on
a Cure" in Ontario are directed to CBCF - Ontario Chapters
Primary Prevention Research program.
RE/MAX real
estate professionals give additional support during the annual
Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure. Team
RE/MAX participates in the run/walk in many communities across
Ontario and the Atlantic provinces.
