Hello.

On behalf of Elisa Lok, Please help us raise money for Cancer Research and cancer support services in BC Cancer Foundation.

Elisa was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2011.  She had a surgery which was successful but 5 years later the cancer had come back and spread to her lungs.  She was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at that time in 2016.  She gallantly fought her cancer for eight long years.  She had over 200 rounds of chemotherapy, 30 rounds of radiation and countless surgeries to help eradicate her cancer.  Elisa was a warrior!  She fought so hard, right to the end.  

Elisa wouldn't have been able to extend her life for so long in stage 4 if she didn't have the amazing help of BC Cancer Agency, amazing onocologists and other doctors / nurses who treated her so well.  We can not count how many CT, MRI, Pet scans, and surgeries she had to go through to support her battle.  All of this costs money and the BC Cancer Foundation needs your support to ensure that others can get the services they need, just like Elisa received. 

On behalf of Elisa, we are the fundraising partner of BC Cancer. Our purpose is to be a catalyst, powering world class innovation while supporting deeply personal cancer journeys.

Every dollar we raise advances care across BC Cancer’s six world-class centers and research programs.

Our donors fuel hope for the 80,000 patients per year who depend on BC Cancer.

Home to some of the world’s top ranked scientific minds, BC Cancer is a place where remarkable advancements happen. We…

• Developed an advanced form of radiation therapy now used world-wide
• Discovered and deployed the first effective prevention strategy for ovarian cancer
• Were the first cancer centre to effectively treat a patient based on DNA of their cancer
• Proved cancer evolves over time and in response to treatment
• Launched Canada’s first population based lung cancer screening program

We know that one in two people in our province will face cancer in their lifetime and we’re igniting progress to break down cancer, piece by piece, in the labs and clinics.

The progress is real.

We are actively working with our donors and communities across B.C. to inspire investment in BC Cancer and our provincial teams of world-leading researchers, oncologists and care providers.

Cancer is relentless. But so are we. We Won’t Stop.
