This May, our family will be participating in our 5th year of Workout to Conquer Cancer.
This years fundraising goal wil be $80,000.00! This will bring our four year total to $680,000.00! Team Miles for Myles has had amazing support over the past four years which has allowed our family and friends to accomplish so much, but kids facing cancer need more. Myles would expect us to not give up.
Myles was diagnosed in March 2021 with Diffuse Infiltrating Gastric Carcinoma and passed away on June 1, 2022.
For 2 years Myles endured the unimaginable. It started with vomiting several times a day for months and loosing 20lbs before he was diagnosed. Once he was diagnosed he went through surgeries, chemo, radiation and so much more. Through all of this he stayed positive, kept his sense of humour and continued on without any complaints. We were always in awe of him and how courageously he fought cancer.
We miss Myles every minute of every day and one way to remember him is to help raise funds for pediatric oncology research and treatments. For the month of May we will be working out and fundraising to honour him.
Miles for Myles is continueing to raise funds this year for one of the BC Cancer Foundation's key priorities, pediatric cancer research led by Dr. Poul Sorensen and his colleagues at BC Cancer.
Dr. Sorensen's lab is currently focused on two urgent priorities within childhood cancer research:
- Targeting high-risk pediatric cancers with new immunotherapy approaches.
- Understanding and targeting stress adaptive pathways in high-risk pediatric cancers, and how these pathways lead to aggressive metastatic disease.
What is very exciting about both these research streams is that they could lead to available treatment for pediatric cancer patients in as little as one to one and a half years! This is significant because up until now children have had very little access to immunotherapy and have had no treatment for aggressive metastatic disease.
This is what each of us has committed to do every day for the month of May:
