In 2022, Debbie was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Since then, she has been fighting with grace and positivity.
The joy and happiness she brings to others despite her ongoing challenges is an inspiration to many.
Debbie has become a strong advocate for other people living with cancer, dedicating countless hours to supporting her peers and participating in the local support group “Breast Friends Sault Ste. Marie”. The group raises funds and puts together care packages for those in need.
They also make donations to the local non-profit Tracy’s Dream, helping to cover the costs of parking at the Sault Area Hospital for people undergoing cancer treatments.
Her friends and family wrote to SooToday telling us about her kind heart, generosity and how deserving of something special she is this Christmas.
Watch as we surprise Debbie with gifts that leave her speechless.
