Tirzah is a health, beauty, travel & lifestyle influencer. Tirzah was 36 year old when she was diagnosed with Stage 2 Breast Cancer. She is a mother of two, and lives in Saskatoon, Canada with her fiance Ricky Forbes. Tirzah decided early after her diagnosis that she wanted to be an advocate for young women everywhere and bring awareness and help other women who were going through the same thing. She has now become a motivational speaker for women around the world. After sharing some vulnerable videos and raw moments through Social Media, Tirzahโs TikTok video went viral with over 4 million views. Since then, Tirzah has reached millions of women and has inspired them and helped them with their own journeys. Tirzah was asked to speak at the CIBC Run for the Cure as the โHope Speakerโ for 2022. All of the fundraising money raised went to the Canadian Cancer Society. On October 20th she spoke on-air sharing her story with C95fm for their yearly Radio Marathon event for Breast Cancer Research. Tirzah was a special guest on the Wellness podcast, "Keep Yourself Well" as well as Natalie Jill's podcast called "Midlife Conversations", which can both be found on Spotify. Tirzah has encouraged and motivated young women to go get regular check ups and to be their own advocate for their health. Tirzah's goal is to keep bringing awareness and to help and inspire other women by sharing her story and her success with keeping a positive mindset, as well as how to live a fulfilled life. Tirzah has shared her many experiences from travelling, modelling, and her overall health tips while sharing her Breast Cancer story.

Amazing ๐๐ซ๐๐ป
In Oslo, a bronze statue named "Cecilie" stands near the Norwegian Parliament, believed to be the world's first public statue of a woman living with incurable breast cancer. It was modeled on Cecilie Flatval, a mother of three who was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer at 42.
Most breast cancer campaigns center on survival and beating the disease, which can leave patients with an incurable diagnosis feeling invisible. Around 600 women in Norway die of metastatic breast cancer each year. Cecilie agreed to be the face of the statue to make that group seen, choosing to be shown exactly as she was, including the scar where her breast had been.
The sculpture was commissioned by the Norwegian Breast Cancer Society with the Association of Norwegian Sculptors, created by sculptor Hรฅkon Anton Fagerรฅs, and gifted by property developer Eiendomsspar. Cecilie lived to see it completed before she passed away in April 2023. It now stands permanently in Spikersuppa in central Oslo as a place for families to remember the people they have lost.

๐คโจ TATS FOR TIRZAH โจ๐ค
I honestly donโt even know how to put into words how grateful and excited I am for this. ๐ฅน๐๐๐ป
My amazing friends Charli Zabos and Jesse from Art Sharks Tattoo Co. have put together this incredible fundraiser for me happening THIS Thursday & Friday, and Iโm just beyond emotional seeing the amount of love, support, time, and effort that has gone into organizing everything. ๐ฅบ
The tattoo spots are basically fully booked already (which is sooo amazing ๐ญ), but they will also be taking walk ins/drop ins, PLUS there are raffle tickets being sold with sooo many amazing prizes to win. โจ
๐ซถ๐ปTo every artist donating their time, energy, talent, and hearts to thisโฆ thank you will never feel like enough. I know how much work goes into planning events like this, and I truly do not take a single second of it for granted. ๐ฉท
Thank you to all the local businesses who donated prizes! ๐๏ธ
I will be resting up this week and hoping to pop in to see everyone, give hugs, and see all your cutesy little tattoos. ๐ฆโจ๐๐ฉท
The amount of love this community has shown me through all of this has carried me more than you know. I am so lucky to have such incredible people in my corner.๐ซ
Thank you for showing up for me.
Thank you for supporting my family.
Thank you for loving me so hard through this chapter. ๐ฉท
I canโt wait to see all the tiny tattoos, beautiful moments, and everyone coming together for something so special. โจ๐ค
๐Today marks my 20th round of Chemo๐๏ธ๐ฉท.
In 2022 when I was first diagnosed I did a total of 16 rounds of chemo. Now I am currently back in the chair and have just completed my 4th Chemo round, which makes today my 20th chemo round day! ๐ฅณ
Some might choose to look at this as something negative or sad, but I am choosing to celebrate it. I am grateful that treatment is still an option for me. ๐๐ป I am celebrating how strong I am. Breast cancer fighters all need a little reminder during the battle we continue to fight daily, that we are in fact strong, even if we donโt always feel it. ๐ฅน
We are tough. It isnโt easy. We keep going even when at times it feels impossible. We show up and fight for more time on this Earth and time with our loved ones. So we need to find little things to celebrate, because the little things become the huge things in our life now. I will always choose to focus on the little glimmers in life and continue to stay grateful. ๐ฅน๐ซ๐๐ป๐
