Jackie Stephen was diagnosed with DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) breast cancer in January 2007 and underwent a mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. The positive outcome and gratitude Jackie felt for everyone who supported her and her family throughout the ordeal, led her, with the support of her close friends, to create the Keeping Abreast Fund, and raises money specifically for Breast Cancer Reconstruction Surgery Research & Education.
Jackie is the proud mother of two children, Katie and Dylan and works as the Director of Operations at FortWhyte Alive. She has also been an active volunteer with many Winnipeg organizations.
Jackie is the Honourary Survivor for this year's Winnipeg Relay For Life and will cut the ribbon for us on Friday May 28.
