Tracy Di Venanzo

Growing up my childhood was an emotional rollercoaster. I struggled with loving and believing in myself. I have always been a very caring person and friend to everyone. Though I had struggles within myself, people in my life always knew how I felt about them.

Being an active kid and playing numerous sports throughout my life was a key factor in keeping me out of trouble. My parents did the best they could and showed me love in their own way. My grandmother embraced my emotional side and my friends well.........they have always stood by me.

My belief in myself was put to the test in April 2007. At 34 years old, with a 16 month old son at the time I was diagnosed with breast cancer. With my spouse, loving friends and family by my side, I knew I was in for the challenge of my life. I was forced to dig deep and find the strength within myself to get through it. I feel that cancer was something I needed to go through to embrace the person I am today. Now 5 years later I am cancer free.

As a Financial Advisor with Sun Life my passion and care for others is the driving force behind what I do. My mission is to ensure that families are protected against unexpected events and loved ones are left a legacy. I know what an illness can do to a family financially. Thankfully I had my plan in place.

Being raised in Toronto, I currently live in Vancouver BC with my spouse Karen of 14 years and our now 6 year old son Nathan. My passion outside of my career is enjoying and creating raw/living food dishes. I have been living a raw/vegan food lifestyle now for almost two years. My body has never been happier. My spare time is spent with my loving family. Our son is enjoying many different sports while I am looking forward to joining him as a coach of course.
