In 2009, Terry Ames was diagnosed with cancer and told it was terminal. Today, not only is Ames cancer-free, but he is helping ensure that anyone else who faces this disease does not do so alone; that they will have the same support that he did as he battled his illness.
Ames has written two books about his battle with cancer, and later launched the Terry Ames Care Fund. Since 2015, the Terry Ames Care Fund has raised $500,000 and helped 200 families in Northern Ontario.
This year, they are back at it again, offering the chance to win a 2022 Cadillac XT-5. The Terry Ames Care Fund is administered by Northern Cancer Foundation Sudbury.
“When you're sick, you're taking time off work but your bills are still coming,” said Ames. “We saw that firsthand when I was going through cancer so we said ‘what can we do to help’.”
This year, the draw launched on Ames’ 10-year anniversary of being cancer-free will be closing soon, with the draw on Oct. 6.
