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 UofT. During his undergrad, he worked as a research student at Sick Kids with Dr. David Malkin (click here to view the article) and for SickKids Foundation as a member of Student Team SickKids - a group of four passionate students, who raise awareness of SickKids at community fundraising events, such as "A Run For Liane." Michael is currently working towards a PhD in cancer research at Dalhousie University in Halifax, NS, and he also volunteers with the Canadian Cancer Society to share Liane's story with rural communities and high schools. Ultimately, Michael seeks to pursue a career as a Clinical Oncologist - a doctor who specializes in cancer biology and also performs scientific research. He hopes that people will be inspired by Liane's story and remember the valuable lessons that she has taught us.
