 I was one of the 800 women in Manitoba affected by breast cancer in 2003. Hundreds were affected years previously, and many more hundreds were inflicted by this horrible disease years after, right here in Winnipeg. Breast Cancer impacts the people living with the disease, their families, friends and loved ones.
When I became familiar with the Guardian Angel, I realized their goals set forth, and my vision, were no different. To make our dream a reality, CREATING A WORLD WITHOUT BREAST CANCER!
Being diagnosed at 40 years of age, having to endure the year long battle of surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation, I quickly become engulfed in the world known as Breast Cancer.
I immediately set forth a plan of action that would assist me in my battle against this atrocious illness. This plan included overcoming chemotherapy successfully, keeping my blood levels strong and my immune system healthy, and how to stave off the possibility of recurrence. After many hours researching for the best defense, it was evident that a healthy lifestyle, including a Canada food guide based diet, and water as my first choice for beverage, was my best protection.
As a Tea lover, my researches lead me to this fascinating health aid, Red [Rooibos] Tea. I have included Red Tea as my second choice of beverage for three years now, and am an adamant believer of its properties. Today I am surviving and thriving and am elated to be creator of this moving initiative. The placement of a Digital Mammography here in Winnipeg will be revolutionary in detecting more tumors, earlier, particularly in younger women.

Stella's Cup for the Cure consists of attractively packaged loose Rooibos Tea leaves. If you're not familiar with Rooibos, it is a Red tea full of antioxidants and flavanoids and considered an excellent health aid. It is organic, calorie and caffeine free, and can be consumed in unlimited quantities. I am VERY proud of this initiative and premiering it at the Guardian Angel benefit in October proved its potential for future success. SCFTC is quickly becoming one of the premier fundraising programs in Manitoba. To date over $5000.00 has been raised and aggressive marketing strategies are in place to assist in reaching our goal. We are proud to support the Guardian Angel Benefit for Women’s Cancer and Cancer Care Manitoba Foundation.
The purpose for raising funds through the sales of Stella's Cup for the Cure [which by the way is a 100% volunteer initiative] is to assist in the ongoing effort to obtain 3D digital mammography for Manitoba. This would be state of the art, effective screening that is superior to the traditional mammography currently used. Studies show the discovery of tumors in women, [especially younger women], is detected earlier resulting in lower mortality rates. Unfortunately at this point, the acquisition for such technology can only be available to Manitoba through private fundraising.
