Karen's inspiring attitude has gotten her through difficult climbs and a cancer diagnosis

Karen Simpson’s get ’er done attitude has gotten her through difficult climbs, daunting marathons, epic bike rides and even a cancer diagnosis. “I just have that mantra in my head all the time,” says Karen. She was diagnosed with two types of skin cancer in 2015 and after having surgery and using a chemotherapy cream, she is now doing well. Even though Karen wasn't treated at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, she knows proceeds from the Home Lottery have helped patients like her and her family. “There’s no doubt in my mind, 100 per cent, that we all benefit from the world-leading research being done there," says Karen.
