Chantel
Chantel experienced a cancer diagnosis in November of 2012 at the age of 37 years old. As an active teacher and a mother of two, her stage three HER 2 Positive diagnosis was extremely devastating. 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 25+ 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. |
SandraSandra was diagnosed with Stage 2 HER 2 Positive breast cancer at the age of 43. Early in her journey she experienced the isolation and loneliness that a cancer diagnosis can bring, and once she found Inpower and the Breast Friends group, she knew she needed to be a greater part of it. The power of connecting with other women “who get it” is invaluable. No one needs to do this alone.
Sandra stays busy as an elementary school vice-principal/teacher, wife and mom to 2 daughters, and fur-baby Luna. She enjoys camping, cooking and reading in her spare time. 
RenaiRenai was diagnosed with stage 2 Triple Negative Breast Cancer in June 2021 and finished active treatment in January 2023. Being diagnosed during Covid was particularly challenging, increasing the need for connection and support. She received just that from Inpower and a local support group during and after treatment, and couldn’t wait to get involved to pay that forward to others.
Renai finds comfort in talking to those newly diagnosed to help them navigate the process and reduce the anxiety that a diagnosis brings. Renai is married with three grown children and two fur babies, Chewie and Luna. Renai loves to travel and hopes to continue experiencing new and exciting adventures around the world. |
BrianaBriana was diagnosed with Stage 3 Triple Negative Invasive Ductal Carcinoma and Inflammatory Breast Cancer in July 2019, finishing her treatment in October 2021. She learned about Inpower through the support group and engaging conversations during her many physical therapy sessions, and was chomping at the bit to get involved.
She spends her spare time with her partner, Jordan, and her spoiled dogs, Bear and Macy. She recently fell back into her love for reading, and really loves being outdoors. |
