Our Story
About Laura
When my dad was diagnosed with Glioblastoma, I resolved to spend as much time with him as possible.
As a busy wife and mother of three, while running three businesses from my home in Ottawa, I wanted to make the most of every remaining minute I had with him.
14 days later, on my 37th birthday, my mom suffered a seizure and collapsed in her kitchen.
She was diagnosed with the same disease — her tumor the same size, in the same part of the brain — and given the same grim prognosis.
I went from having two healthy parents to 14 days later having two parents who had a year to live, and within the year I had two parents who are dead.
Fueled by grief and passion to make a difference, Slay Society was born in 2020.
