PCFBC FALL 2019 NEWSLETTER

What have we been up to? Summer was a busy and exciting time for us here at the Foundation! We've just wrapped up three major events: the Ride to Live, the Father's Day Walk/Run, and our Support Group Conference, 20/20 and Beyond. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to stay up to date on upcoming events and other important information!  ‌  ‌  ‌ 20/20 and Beyond From September 6th to 8th, we hosted the 20/20 and Beyond Support Group Conference covering topics from the latest research and exercise, to incontinence, sexual health, and how to get new members out to support groups. It was a huge success and it was wonderful to see people from across Canada, Washington State, and even Ireland in attendance. A big thank you to everyone who attended and volunteered. Lifetime Achievement Award At the Support Group Conference, Ted Butterfield was posthumously awarded the Prostate Cancer BC Lifetime Achievement Award. His wife of 55 years, Fay, and children, Leigh, Cheryl, and David, attended the banquet to receive this award on his behalf. Ted served as the Chair of PCFBC, the leader of the North Vancouver Support Group, and was also the past chair of the BC Support Group Council. He was a very important part of our Foundation and he will be truly missed. 2019 Grants This year we were fortunate to have the opportunity to award a total of $120,000 amongst five recipients, Dr. Shreyas Lingadahalli, Dr. Alexander Smith, Jane Foo, Victor Barrios, and Dr. John Oliffe, to support them in their prostate cancer research efforts. We look forward to seeing their results! Ride to Live We had a great turn out for our 10th Anniversary Westcoast Motorcycle Ride to Live, held on May 26th, with hundreds of riders participating. In 2019, we launched our new Rode and Raised program and we even closed down the highway for our riders! We are now in the planning stages of our 2020 Ride and we're actively looking for motivated people to join our committee to help brainstorm ideas and come together to put on another successful event! Please contact Amanda if you're interested in being part of the team. Father's Day Walk/Run The Annual Father's Day Walk/Run was held on June 16th in Burnaby, Chilliwack, and Kamloops and we're proud to announce that $250,152 was raised! It was a beautiful fun-filled day and as always, it was wonderful to see so many happy families coming together to support a great cause. Pubs for Prostate Pubs for Prostate is just around the corner! We have some great pubs on board this year across the province including Darby’s Pub in Vancouver, Firefighters Pub in Burnaby, Sasquatch Inn at Harrison, the Jolly Coachman in Pitt Meadows, and Sporty Bar and Grill in Port Hardy. Enjoy a fun night out all while supporting PC research and awareness. Check out www.pubsforprostate.ca for more details! And if you happen to know of a pub that might like to participate, please contact Amanda at amanda@prostatecancerbc.ca  Support Group Speakers The Cranbrook Support Group meeting on Wednesday, October 16th will be featuring guest speaker, Janyce Bampton, the Executive Director of Cranbrook Kimberley Hospice Society. She will be speaking on the work that Hospice does for advanced patients and those who can benefit from end of life care. Dr. Richard Wassersug will be presenting on The Language of Cancer and Why It Matters for Prostate Cancer Patients at the Richmond Support Group meeting on November 14th.  Two guest speakers will be featured at the North Shore meeting on October 23rd. Monita Sundar, Manager of the Prostate Cancer Supportive Care (PCSC) program, will be giving an update and Monica Hu, Counsellor with the PCSC program, will be speaking on PC counselling.
