HEY THERE!
Whether focusing on my CAREER within the building & construction industry, sharing my STORY, or advocating in the MEDIA, I always fall back on a strong work ethic and an overloaded amount of confidence to get shit done. My career has so far been shaped through my passion for graphic design, well-crafted marketing strategies, and the joy of helping local small businesses reach their goals.
This next chapter of life includes a lot more advocacy for breast cancer (especially for those of us battling it under 40!) and more community building through local partnerships!
A first-person wrap-up of the PinkPrints campaign, sharing why it mattered, what we raised, and how $3,080 is supporting women in treatment.
There’s a side of breast cancer that pink ribbons don’t talk about: the financial toll. Treatments are exhausting. Work hours are cut. Incomes drop. Meanwhile, the bills keep coming — rent, groceries, heat, childcare.
In an industry dominated by mergers, multinationals, and mega budgets, it's easy to feel like the little guys have to shout just to be heard. But lately, within my role at Hewson Brothers Building Supply & Acoustic Solutions, branding hasn’t been about being the loudest. It's about being the most trusted.
Honoured to be nominated for the 2025 YWCA Cambridge Women of Distinction Awards, [Your Name] celebrates her advocacy for breast cancer awareness, women in construction, and small local businesses. Learn about the event and purchase gala tickets for June 11th.
Taking risks after cancer isn’t about proving anything to anyone. It’s about choosing the life you want, without the weight of fear dictating your decisions. It’s about recognizing that while you didn’t get a choice in having cancer, you do get a choice in how you live beyond it.
For a young woman diagnosed with breast cancer and navigating PTSD, embracing risk—whether big or small—can be a crucial part of healing. It’s not about being reckless for the sake of it. It’s about taking control of your story and saying, “I’m still here, and I’m going to make the most of it.”

The Grand Valley Construction Association (GVCA) plays a vital role in fostering excellence within the construction industry, and I’m proud to be actively involved in supporting its initiatives. Through my role at Hewson Brothers Building Supply, I had the opportunity to contribute to this year’s GVCA Building Excellence Awards Gala by designing and constructing the Ace Your Acoustics Wall Display—a unique installation that combined innovation with engagement.
Breast cancer awareness isn’t just for October; it’s a conversation that needs to happen all year long. The "Know More" campaign with Breast Cancer Canada is a step toward making that happen, and I’m honored to be part of it.
🚧 Women Are Building the Future of Construction 👷♀️
Women now make up 13% of Ontario’s construction workforce, and that number is growing! But there’s still more work to do.
✅ Diverse teams = better problem-solving
✅ More talent helps tackle labor shortages
✅ Construction careers offer real financial stability
My name is Beth. I am a 34 year old mother of 3, Olivia (16), Jack (9), and Charlee (2), and am currently engaged to the most supportive man on the planet, Matt. We live in Cambridge, after moving from Oakville the spring after Charlee was born. Moving got us closer to our friend group and we were incredibly grateful for that decision (and support network) once I was diagnosed.
Thrilled to have joined Ben O'Hara-Byrne on A Little More Conversation through Global News Corus Entertainment radio stations to tell my story and highlight our Not Too Young Photo Essay Campaign for Dense Breasts Canada
Beth Marchant, a mother of three living in Cambridge, Ont., learned of her breast cancer diagnosis at age 32 through an emailed alert about her ultrasound results. Cases like hers are raising questions about whether it's appropriate for a patient to be given a serious diagnosis through a digital message, before speaking to a doctor. (Turgut Yeter/CBC)
To mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, Dense Breasts Canada is presenting NOT TOO YOUNG, a photo essay by award-winning photographer Hilary Gauld which portrays the stories of 10 young women told they were too young for breast cancer. The work will launch on DBC’s website and social media on September 26th.
Join us for Abreast Perspective, where breast cancer survivors and supporters across Ontario share their journeys of resilience, courage, and empowerment. Through candid conversations, these unstoppable women challenge stereotypes, inspire hope, and prove that age is no barrier to triumphing over breast cancer.

Reconstruction comes with its own risks and rewards, and everyone needs to make their own choice on what's worth the cost.
Boobie Free since '23! It's officially been 1 year since my Double Mastectomy and 1 year with #NoEvidenceofDisease 🥳
One year later and this boob is still trying to kill me! It’s been almost exactly a year since I was diagnosed. I’ve been cancer free since my scans in February. It’s amazing to me how I can go from celebrating beating this, to being reminded so harshly that it’s not quite over.
I recently had the incredible opportunity to appear on the new show Flawed, hosted by the amazing Spencer Barbosa and produced by MAKERS. My episode airs April 24th on Bell Fibe TV and the Fibe TV App, and I can’t wait for you to see it!
The show is all about celebrating the things we’re told to hide, the parts of ourselves that don’t always fit the mold — and in my case, that meant sharing my story of choosing aesthetic flat closure after breast cancer. Society often tells breast cancer survivors that reconstructive surgery is the “natural next step,” the expected path to reclaiming an "acceptable silhouette." But what if that version of “recovery” doesn’t feel right?
