Loved ones paid tribute to influential Montreal cancer advocate Nalie Agustin with a walk in her honour Saturday morning.
Family, friends and members of the community joined together for “Nalie’s Legacy Walk” – both a tribute to the Montrealer who passed away in 2022 and a breast cancer fundraising event for the Nalie Foundation.
Participants walked along the Lachine Canal in St-Henri, passing by the very spots where Agustin loved to stroll and meditate. There were readings and moments of reflection along the two-kilometre walk.
Agustin’s years-long battle with cancer touched the hearts of many, whether they knew her personally or followed her journey on social media.
The 33-year-old cancer advocate, public speaker, social media influencer and best-selling author passed away March 22, 2022.
Agustin was 23 when her battle with breast cancer began in 2013, and she started sharing her journey with members of the public. In 2017, when she had a recurrence, she continued to share, opening up about her health challenges on YouTube and inspiring many others.
For more information on the fundraiser – and Agustin’s overall mission of spreading love and hope – you can visit the Nalie Foundation’s website.
