This is Rachael Smith. In 2004, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Following a gruelling 9 month battle, Rachael saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and decided to give something back to the medical community that had seen her through her darkest hours. Throughout her entire journey back to health, one thing [apart from love and great medical care] had remained constant for Rachael and her family - the pile of junk in their basement.
This is when lightning struck. Cue Rachael's desire to help others in her position, cue a cause that always needs fighting for, cue the pile of junk in her basement. Yard Sale for the Cure was created as a means to raise funds for Breast Cancer research.
Saturday, May 30th 2009 at 8 AM in Toronto is when Yard Sale for the Cure is to kick off for this year. There's still time to become a host if you'd like to sell it all from your front porch. Or you can browse other Yard Sale for the Cures by checking out the location guide.
