BENEFICIARIES
Annie Parker
Annie Parker was born in Toronto, Canada, in 1951. When she was only 14 years old, she lost her mother to cancer. Twelve years later, her beloved sister, Joan, also died from the same disease.
Annie’s doctors told her it was “just bad luck”. She didn’t believe them. Annie became convinced that there had to be a genetic link for certain types of cancer. This belief also meant that she was convinced that she, too, would get cancer.
She did. In 1980, she developed breast cancer, had a mastectomy and survived. Her marriage didn’t.
Annie went on to survive two more cancers. Her life story was the inspiration for the 2013 film Decoding Annie Parker, and she is now an advocate for cancer care and genetic testing.
