BlueskyWelcome to Kendras Fundraising page for Team Josh!
For the month of May, I will be MOVING with TEAM JOSH to raise funds for DSRCT (desmoplastic round cell tumour) research and care.
This challenge is more than exercise. It's about coming together to go beyond limits in making an impact for the 80,000 British Columbians facing cancer each year.
In cancer research, there are three main sources of funding: government, industry, and private donations. Government funding involves numerous steps and bureaucratic hoops, while industry funding, though often generous, can be unpredictable. Private donations, however, are the most impactful because they go to work immediately.
For rare cancers like the one Josh is fighting, government and industry funding are scarce, as the majority goes to more common cancers. Private donations are the only way to make significant progress in combating rarer forms of cancer. Sarcomas, like Josh's, disproportionately affect young people, making this battle even more challenging, both emotionally and financially.
Josh's goal is to be a statistical outlier in this fight against his disease, and your support is helping him inch closer to that goal. They say it takes a village, and you are that village.
As I get ready to sweat through through May, please consider showing your support by donating to my page today. All funds donated to my page will be supporting directly supporting Dr. Torsten Nielsen's lab at the Jack Bell Research Centre. Dr. Nielsen collaborates with many other scientists and is researching DSRCT here in BC.
