How We Started
2009
A group of women, mothers & friends across Alberta, decided to join forces and walk 60 kms through downtown Calgary, AB for The Weekend to End Women’s Cancers. Each participant needed to raise $2,000 just to participate. Over 4 years our group raised over $100,000. After those 4 years, organizers canceled the walk, due to lack of support. Our group was devastated.
2013
Our group decided to raise money on our own! We originally chose a Pre Phase 1 Clinical Trials Unit to donate our money to. But when we lost our Co-Founder, Rebecca Morlidge, to her breast cancer, we realized there was a greater need. As her friends and husband watched her die in the hospital, we realized that they had to pay for parking and food just to be there with her in her final moments. When we spoke to other breast cancer patients, they mentioned not having enough money for food, hotels, parking, medications, and so much more that provincial and private health care doesn’t cover.
2017
We created the I Love Alberta Boobs Assistance Fund. Through this, we were able to help approximately 70+ recipients over 7 years.
Oct 2024
We are launching the new I Love Alberta Boobs Cancer Care Packages in support of the Lloydminster Health Foundation. With this, we will be able to help approximately 100+ patients EACH YEAR! Any new cancer patient who attends the Lloydminster Hospital for cancer treatment will receive a care package. Breast cancer, and all cancers.
Over the last 15 years, through all our fundraisers, events, and donations, we have raised over $400,000. All of this would not be possible without the support from businesses, friends, family, and the community. We truly appreciate everyone’s continued support for I Love Alberta Boobs.
