F45 AMBLESIDE WORKOUT FUNDRAISER

We are challenging our community to Workout to Conquer Cancer in honour of Myles Lindsay who passed away June 1, 2022 at age 15 from Gastric Cancer. Team Miles for Myles is raising funds this year for one of 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 cildhood cancer research:

1. Targeting high-risk pediatric cancers with new immunotherapy approaches.
2. 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 of 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.

The goal for Miles for Myles this year is to raise $179,219 bringing the four year total to $600,000! Team Miles for Myles has had amazing support over the past three years which has allowed Myles' family and friends to accomplish great things, but kids facing cancer need more. Myles would expect us to continue on.

So, we invite you to grab some friends to meet up at F45 Ambleside Beach for a class and get moving on May 11th to support BC Cancer Foundations Workout to Conquer Cancer and to honour Myles.
