On Saturday May 13, we are riding our E-bikes through scenic Kelowna wine country, and raising funds for B-PRECISE breast cancer research in our community. Our 30K route starts at Boyce-Gyro Beach and meanders through picturesque wine and orchard country in southeast Kelowna.

The BC Cancer research team in our community is doing important work. Named the B-PRECISE program, the research is helping women tackle the best outcomes from this relentless disease.

Karen and Bob Blumel along with friends have set a goal to raise $2,000. Please donate now and help us achieve our fundraising goal. We want to create awareness about the world-class breast cancer research happening right now in our own backyard.

Did you know? 5-10% of breast cancer cases are hereditary and 12% of women in our community will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.

And by the way. Did you schedule your free mammogram yet? Mammograms save lives. With early detection you can detect cancer early and reduce your breast cancer risk.

Sincerely,

Karen and Bob Blumel

BC Cancer Foundation
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.
