Sarabjit Gill Memorial Fund
Achieved: $91,665.75
Dear Family and Friends,
Our mom was a selfless, loving, generous, and kind woman. We are devastated by her loss. Our mom was healthy prior to her diagnosis of cancer on April 8, 2011. It was shocking for us to learn that our mom had a very aggressive cancer that had spread throughout her abdomen. Unfortunately, the cancer was so aggressive and so far spread that there were no treatment options. Two and a half weeks after the diagnosis, we lost our mom. In this short time our mom showed us her incredible strength and her unwavering belief in God. Our mom, who was always an emotional and empathetic person, did not shed a single tear during this very difficult time. She remained heroically brave and selfless for her family. We are so proud to call such a remarkable woman our mom.
We are lost without our mom and we know that our lives will never be the same. However, we do not want her death to be in vain. Our mom was always about helping others and we want to do the same. It is our hope that a cure for this terrible disease will be found and that no family has to suffer the untimely loss of a mother. We have started this fund in our mom's name to raise money for molecular cancer research and for cancers of gynaecological origin. Our initial goal was to raise $50,000 by April 25, 2012. To start the fundraising we donated the first $15,000. With the generosity of our friends and family, we have already surpassed our goal of $50,000! We have now increased our goal to $75,000. We know our goal is big, but we think we can do this with your support.
Although our lives have been shattered, our mom's love is eternal and she will live on through us. We will continue to make our mom proud; this is our promise to her. Please support us in carrying on our mom's legacy.
Thank you for your generous donation,
With love from Mom’s family
“Her life is not gone, but broken into colourful pieces that are embedded in each of us, the most breathtaking mosaic imaginable. In a very real way, her life has become ours. And in a very tangible sense, she is reflected in how we speak, how we interact, how we laugh and how we love.”
