Join Us for the First Miles for Myles Hike - 5 KM
This May, we are honoured to host the very first Miles for Myles Hike to celebrate and honour the memory of our dear friend, Myles Lindsay. Myles was diagnosed in March 2021 with Diffuse Infiltrating Gastric Carcinoma and passed away on June 1, 2022, at just 15 years old. Despite the immense challenges he faced, Myles met every day with resilience, humour, and unwavering strength, never once complaining. He is deeply loved and profoundly missed.

Why We Hike
Team Miles for Myles is proudly raising funds for one of the BC Cancer Foundation's key priorities: pediatric cancer research, led by Dr. Paul Sorensen and his team at BC Cancer.
Dr. Sorensen's lab is currently focused on two urgent research priorities:
-
Targeting high-risk pediatric cancers with innovative immunotherapy treatments
-
Understanding and interrupting stress-adaptive pathways in high-risk pediatric cancers that drive aggressive, metastatic disease
These promising research streams could bring new treatments to children in as little as one to one and a half years - a major breakthrough, especially as children have historically had limited access to immunotherapy and no effective treatments for aggressive metastatic disease.
