Janet Forrester
Janet has worked for BMO Financial Group for over 30 years. Since Liane’s death, she has worked hard to turn her family’s tragedy into something positive and has been committed to fundraising for the Sick Kids Foundation, Childhood Cancer Research Centre. She continues to be an inspiration to her family and friends.
 Michael Forrester
In 2007, Michael graduated with an Honours Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Toronto, Trinity College, specializing in Molecular Genetics with a minor in Philosophy. He is currently pursuing graduate studies in cancer research at Dalhousie University in Halifax, NS. Previously, he has worked as a summer research student at Sick Kids in the oncology department, and was featured in the Sick Kids section of the Toronto Star on June 2, 2005 (click here to view the article). In the summer of 2007, he had the unique experience of working for SickKids Foundation as a member of Student Team SickKids - a group of four passionate university students, all with a family connection to SickKids, who raise awareness of SickKids at community fundraising events, such as "A Run For Liane." Ultimately, Michael seeks to pursue a career as a Clinical Oncologist - a doctor who specializes in cancer biology and also performs basic scientific research. He aspires to advance our understanding of cancer and to relieve the suffering that the disease brings to families. He hopes that people will be inspired by Liane's story and remember the many valuable lessons that she has taught us.
