They’ve held breast cancer patients while they cried, walked miles to raise money to fight breast cancer and tirelessly promoted better awareness of the disease, sometimes themselves battling it.They are the recipients of this quarter’s Bermuda CableVision Community Service Awards Renee Carter, Jan Fraser and Audrey Morbey, some of charity Bermuda Cancer and Health’s most dedicated volunteers.At a special ceremony held at the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute (BUEI) Bermuda CableVision general manager Terry Roberson called the women “shining examples of Bermuda’s unwavering community spirit”.The winners of the community service awards are nominated by the community and selected by a committee.Ms Carter is a breast cancer survivor who organised the Melange Life After Cancer annual breast cancer fundraiser for four years in a row, raising more than $20,000 for the Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre.“I have breast cancer metastatic,” Ms Carter said when she received her award. “That means it has spread to other parts of my body. It is now in my hip, which is why I have crutches.“My mother has stage four breast cancer. She developed it after I did. Now we are trying to see who can live the longest. We look forward to the next year and the next year and the next.”Ms Fraser accepted her award with tears in her eyes. She was inspired to help the Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre after her mother beat breast cancer.Her mother died recently in her 80s from Alzheimers disease. Having participated in several long distance fundraising walks in the United States, which was followed by survivors’ ceremonies, Ms Fraser decided to hold a similar event in Bermuda.The Bermuda Cancer Fun Walk was born on Wednesday more than a 1,000 people took part.She is a professional speaker and trainer, and coaches breast cancer survivors to speak about their experiences to encourage other women to get regular breast screenings. She also helps the cancer charity PALS.“I feel my mother’s presence here today,” said Ms Fraser when she received the award. “My mother was a bilateral mastectomy survivor. I admire the courage of breast cancer survivors. I am just their representative today.”Ms Morbey was unable to attend yesterday’s ceremony. Executive director of Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre Tara Soares accepted Ms Morbey’s award on her behalf. Ms Morbey began volunteering for the Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre along with two other local charities on her retirement.Over the last decade she has helped with annual tag days. In her area of St George’s and St David’s she has raised over $20,000 each year through tagging. She is recognised by the charity for her ability to connect with people.The company invites the public to nominate anyone living in Bermuda who has shown outstanding community service through participation in a school, church or charity organisation, or their own determination.
