Chantel experienced a cancer diagnosis in November of 2012 at the age of 37 years old. As an active teacher and a mother of a two- and five-year-old, a stage three HER 2 Positive diagnosis was extremely devastating. The connections she made originally in a cancer rehab exercise group were her life line during her treatments and eventual five surgeries, related to her cancer and breast reconstruction. As her strength returned, she was committed to helping other women make connections with others with cancer and women “who get it.” As a founding member of Inpower in 2013, her dedication to creating educational, empowering opportunities for others and giving women with cancer a voice, has become a true focus in her life. In between her volunteer work, Chantel’s focus includes her 26 year teaching career working with middle years students and travelling the roads of Saskatchewan for many baseball road trips with her family, Loni, Lukas, and Kane.
