About Lisa Rendall

Lisa 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. She 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. She was diagnosed after her neck collapsed. The cancer had spread to many areas of her body including a vertebra in her neck, as well as throughout her spine, ribs and liver.

Lisa was fitted with a halo to stabilize her neck and then had surgery to repair the collapsed vertebra with a bone graft from her hip. She also had a lumpectomy at that time so pathologists could examine the tumor and determine the characteristics of her cancer. Lisa later learned she was HER2 positive and ER (estrogen receptor) positive. The HER2 gene causes the cancer to grow and spread, and estrogen also fuels the cancer. Luckily there is a monoclonal antibody called Herceptin that stops the gene from spreading the cancer. Lisa credits this drug for saving her life and keeping her alive today.
Lisa was 35 years old when she was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in July of 2000. Her cancer remains stable. She continues to have three different treatments per month, and has made it her mission to raise as much money as possible for breast cancer research.

The 8th Annual C95 Radio Marathon for breast cancer research will be held from 6am October 23 to 6pm October 24 at The Mall at Lawson Heights in Saskatoon. Listen to the Radio Marathon live on C95 (95.1 FM) in Saskatoon and surrounding areas, or on-line at www.c95.com. Lisa Rendall will join Rob, Shauna and Rambling Dave for part of the Radio Marathon. Call and donate, or visit the C95 website to donate on-line.

Lisa is also involved in many other breast cancer causes including Saskatchewan’s only dragon boat team of breast cancer survivors, “Busting with Energy”. Because of her widespread bone metastases she is unable to paddle but is an honorary member of the team.

Lisa also holds an annual golf tournament, the Lisa Rendall Golf Classic for Breast Cancer Research. Since it's inception the tournament has raised over $226,500. Since the start of the C95 Radio Marathon in October of 2000, over 1.4 million dollars has been raised for breast cancer research at the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency.
