Ambassador Profile: Megan McNeil
Megan McNeil: Delta, BC
Hobbies and Interests: Music, singing, running, dance, eating
Type of cancer that has affected me or my family: Adrenalcortical Carcinoma
Number of years on treatment: 4 years this coming September
My toughest challenge with childhood cancer: No longer having control over your own life; the uncertainty of it all; relapses
Describe some great things that have come about through your journey of childhood cancer: I’ve met some amazing people and made some great new friends, gained a whole new appreciation for life, found out who my true friends were and became a lot closer to some people… You also get some awesome experiences like hockey games, concerts, etc. Another thing is that it’s shown me how important music is in my life.
Describe your Best Day: That’ll be the day that I’m given the “all clear”! But there’s a couple highlights like my Make A Wish to meet Ellen Degeneres and also meeting Michael Buble… Another would be recording my own song!
Tell us about your Worst Day: A couple… The day I was diagnosed and the three times that I relapsed as well. The more times you’re told it’s back, the harder it gets.
Tell us what Coast to Coast Against Cancer means to me: Hopefully with the help of CTCAC, no child will have to face this horrible disease in the future. Cancer has become a huge part of my life, but it shouldn’t have to be a part of anyone else’s.
Tell us what your message is to our riders, volunteers, sponsors and all Canadians: I really enjoyed being the ambassador these past few years and am looking forward to being your spokesperson
again this year!
