Ambassador Profile: Adam Mason
Adam Mason: Barrie, Ontario
Type of cancer that has affected me or my family: In 1984 I was diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Number of celebrated years off treatment: 20+ years
My toughest challenge with childhood cancer: Not knowing if I was going to survive.
Describe some great things that have come about through your journey of childhood cancer:I have had the pleasure of meeting the best doctors, nurses and scientists on the planet. I would not be the same person today if I had not had cancer. Just being able to know what it is like to have cancer and being able to fight for other children and their families.
Describe your Best Day: My best day would have to be having the opportunity to give back to the hospital that saved my life.
Tell us about your Worst Day: Every day is my worst day, having to watch children fight for their lives and end up not winning their own battle.
Tell us what Coast to Coast Against Cancer means to me: Plain and simple, this is a group of people who have stood up to make a difference in the lives of children and families with cancer in hope that one day we can have all children healthy.
Tell us what your message is to our riders, volunteers, sponsors and all Canadians: As a former child with cancer, I want to thank every volunteer, nurse, support staff, and family for saving my life.
