Holly Wilton's strength and courage while battling three different types of cancer has made her this year's first dream recipient in the Cameco Touchdown for Dreams program.
A 46-year-old mother of three children from Stoughton, Holly's dream is to travel through the Maritimes on a Harley Davidson.
Thanks to the Cameco Touchdown for Dreams program - which grants dreams to women who have been diagnosed with life-threatening cancer - that wish will become a reality this summer.
First diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2008, Holly received a second diagnosis of cancer near her bowel in 2013. After five surgeries, 27 radiation treatments and 28 chemo sessions, Holly is now being treated for liver cancer.
Constantly showing a positive attitude, Holly is sharing her story before her dream is granted this August.
Entering its fifth year, Cameco Touchdown for Dreams is a partnership between the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Saskatchewan Cancer Agency and Cameco.
-
The program has granted 26 wishes during its first four years.
-
Due to tremendous support from Rider Nation, the program will grant seven dreams this year.
-
The Cameco Touchdown for Dreams program visits Mosaic Stadium for the Oct. 22nd game, where Cameco employees, Rider wives and Cancer Agency staff will sell pink Roughrider merchandise to fans. Sale profits will be used to help make the dreams come true.
