DEDICATION

We all know that cancer is a horrible disease. When someone learns that he or

she has this illness everyone is affected — family, fr iends and the community.

Millions die e very year from cancer. Yet, we are making progres s to combat the

disease and more people diag nosed with cancer today are living longer and beat-

ing it.

In my f‌ifteen plus years at th e Toronto Regional O ff‌ice of the Department of

Justice (Canada) I worked with many colleagues that were aff‌licted with cancer.

I would like to dedicate this book to those that continue to beat the odds and in so

doing, they continue to make valuable contributions to their community, to their

friends and most importantly, to their families — Patricia Lee, Bonnie Boucher

and Kevin Wilson — and to my former colleague who “fought the good f‌ight” and

is no longer with us, Livia Singer. All of these peopl e are shining examples to the

rest of us of how we can make a dif ference and make the world a better place for

everyone.
