KEYNOTE SPEAKER DEBORAH NORVILLE

Two-time Emmy© Award winner Deborah Norville brings the “take-home” value audiences love. Norville does it every day for nearly 5 million viewers as the Anchor of Inside Edition, the number one daily television magazine show in America. Her personalized speeches have made Norville a sought after voice of influence for corporations, universities, entrepreneurs, health conferences and women’s organizations. Norville is also a best-selling author and a passionate crafter. Her international best-selling book, Thank You Power: Making the SCIENCE of Gratitude Work for YOU details with striking precision the connection between gratitude and enhanced cognitive function and energy. The book was a New York Times best-seller as well as a best-seller in South Korea. Norville was also the co-author and contributor to the popular Chicken Soup for the Soul series and the author of several other self-help books including two best-selling children’s books and a number of books featuring knit and crochet patterns. Norville is an advocate for self-care. While she advocates for others, she has turned that same focus inward losing over 30 pounds by cutting sugar out of her diet and undergoing surgery to remove a cancerous thyroid nodule. On the other side of both of those health issues, Norville speaks candidly about her health struggles and how she continues to better herself on a daily basis. Dedicated to making a difference, Norville’s lectures are interactive, impacting and unforgettable.

“According to the Canadian Cancer Society, in 2020 it is estimated 110,000 Canadian women will be diagnosed with cancer
39,300 women will die from cancer.
One in two Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer
One in four will die from the disease.
That was before Covid-19.

It is critical that our work to find a cure continues.

Cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada.
It is estimated that in 2020, 225,800 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer, and, 617 Canadians will die from cancer every day.
During these demanding times, the cancer community is especially vulnerable. Cancer patients are largely an elderly population, immuno-suppressed due to chemotherapy, are experiencing significant treatment delays and a lack of access to physicians.
The need to support basic science and clinical research programs of our leading medical institutions both in Montreal and Israel, is greater than ever. is especially vulnerable during these demanding times.
Your generous support today will help to sustain ICRF’s mission to fund innovative cancer research in Montreal and in Israel.
