This was taken from the C95 website this morning. I needed to share this. If ever you think you can not go on, remember this amazing woman. In her deepest darkest days, she found incredible strength and made a huge difference in so many lives. Rest in peace.
In Memory of Lisa Marie Rendall
Lisa Marie Rendall was born and raised in small town Saskatchewan. Her career as a radio personality started at CJSL in Estevan in February of 1984 shortly after she graduated from Western Academy of Broadcasting in Saskatoon. In May she joined the staff at CKIT and CKCK radio in Regina where she spent over 7 years of her career playing easy listening music on CKIT. The next career move came in 1990 when she joined the staff at CJWW in Saskatoon and was happy to return to playing country music. In 1992 she moved to Toronto and helped sign-on a brand new country FM station, CISS FM. She stayed there for over 4 years until the pull of the prairies became too strong. Lisa returned to Regina in 1996 where she worked at Z99, and then moved to Saskatoon and the morning show at C95 in November of 1997.
Rob, Lisa and Rambling Dave were the number one radio morning show in Saskatoon when Lisa was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer after a vertebra in her neck collapsed. The cancer had spread to many areas of her body including the vertebra in her neck, as well as throughout her spine, ribs and liver.
Lisa Rendall lived with incurable Stage 4 (metastatic) breast cancer for eleven years. This is an incredible feat given the median survival rate is 2.5 years. During these eleven years, Lisa was a motivational speaker who took the audience through her journey in a way that not only entertained, but educated and inspired. Lisa shared her story many times through radio and television interviews, magazine articles, newspaper interviews, and as a motivational speaker.
Lisa made it her mission to raise as much money as possible for breast cancer research in Saskatchewan. To date, over 2.5 million dollars has been raised for breast cancer research at the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency through events such as the C95 Radio Marathon for Breast Cancer Research and the Lisa Rendall Golf Classic. Named as one of the Top 40 Women Over 40 in Canada by More magazine, Lisa was a dedicated warrior in the fight against breast cancer and an engaging speaker who brought audiences to laughter and tears as she told her compelling story of diagnosis, living with incurable cancer, and fighting back when it progressed.
On New Year's Eve 2010, CTV Saskatoon named Lisa as the 2010 CTV Saskatoon Citizen of the Year! Though Lisa’s condition remained stable until February 2010, when tests revealed the disease was progressing. Lisa underwent many sets of chemotherapy to attack the disease. Sadly, Lisa passed away this Wednesday, April 13, 2011.
Lisa will be sorely missed, not just by the C95 team and the Rawlco family, but by the whole community and the people whose lives she touched.
