At Best Health, we work hard to bring you the latest news on living healthy, fulfilling lives and preventing and treating disease. But no matter how many studies we cite, the information we share just can't compete with real-life stories from Canadian women who've fought their way through tough illnesses, which is why we're bringing you our newest blogger, Jordan.

Jordan is a breast cancer survivor from Calgary, a former runner who got sidelined during her treatment process. Now that she's feeling better, she's following Best Health's 5K running plan to get back into shape and increase her odds of long-term survival and will be participating in Run for the Cure this October. She'll be sharing her thoughts and goals through her training and looks forward to getting support and comments from Best Health readers.

Welcome, Jordan!
