Nearly $2M raised in support of fighting cancer: Challenge for Life
The Challenge for Life finish line revealed how much funds were raised as part of the annual fundraiser. (Daniel Timmerman/CTV News Winnipeg) Hundreds of Manitobans gathered at Assiniboine Park Saturday morning in support of fighting cancer. Challenge for Life, a fundraising event with proceeds going to CancerCare Manitoba Foundation, allowed participants to commit to a personal fitness goal by choosing either a 20-kilometre walk, 5-kilometre walk, a 200-minute workout or a virtual activity. Isabella Consiglio, a 25-year-old cancer survivor, was one of the approximately 1,150 participants that signed up for this year's event. 'It's very empowering to be on this side of things and just knowing that it's making such a big difference in, not only like my life, because I'm a survivor, but other people's lives, and continuing that,' said Consiglio. Team Isabella Isabella Consiglio, who has since defeated cancer, says that it's important to continue supporting causes such as the Challenge for Life. (Daniel Timmerman/CTV News Winnipeg) Consiglio said she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at 17-years-old, causing a disruption to her senior year of high school and a passion for competitive dance. Following almost two-and-a-half years of treatment, Consiglio said she's been cancer-free ever since. 'It's just really important to continue supporting these causes,' she said. 'Everybody's affected by cancer … if you're a survivor, a fighter, you just know someone — everybody's affected by it.'
