Edmonton woman with terminal stomach cancer uses fashion for philanthropy
A 22-year-old Edmonton social media fashion influencer is using her talent to give back to the Canadian Cancer Society.
“Stomach cancer is very rare in young people so they were very surprised to find it, and the treatment options are not great,” Nespliak said Wednesday. “I really like to spread positivity and just fun, colourful fashion,” she explained. “When I was diagnosed, it just seemed natural to me to share my journey on social media and pretty much just to bring awareness to a rare disease and also just educate people.“I’ve really created a community of people that value the positivity aspect of it, but also that I was still trying to live my life to the fullest.”‘I have to pack more into life every day’: B.C.
“I’m very, very proud of that and I’m happy that’s a legacy that I get to leave behind. And it will hopefully be an event that people can easily replicate and continue on in the future,” Nespliak said.Story continues below advertisement
