Home / Get Involved / Fundraising / Elizabeth Dessureault Memorial Fund Elizabeth Dessureault Memorial Fund At 26 and 5 months pregnant with her first child, non-smoker Elizabeth Dessureault never thought pregnancy would include a diagnosis of late stage lung cancer and chemotherapy. She was told that she had less than 1 year to live. At that point, the glow and hope of motherhood changed to include fear, a fight for her own life and the heavy stigma weight that lung cancer carries. Despite her diagnosis and caring for a newborn, Lizzie was dedicated to raising awareness and donations for lung cancer charities. She sold ‘Just Breathe’ bracelets and handbags to raise funds and awareness, gave numerous media interviews and started a blog. "From Lizzie’s Lungs" was named the top health blog of 2016. Sadly, Elizabeth passed away on Feb 25, 2017. Elizabeth's family have created the Elizabeth Dessureault Memorial Fund to honour her and her tireless effort to raise awareness and hope.
