Message from
the Board Chair
and CEO
It has been our privilege
again this year to connect the
work of two important groups
that form one team intent on
building a cancer-free future
for individual Albertans and
for the province as a whole.
The first part of the team is our donors.
Alberta Cancer Foundation donors make personal
contributions, plan legacy gifts, purchase lottery
tickets, sponsor participants in our walks and put
their own ingenuity to work as volunteers, planning
and executing more than 300 fundraising events
each year.
Their support is a tribute to the thousands of
Albertans diagnosed with cancer this year. It’s a
message of hope for the nearly 16,000 expected
to be diagnosed next year. And their gifts honour
the memory of more than 5,000 Albertans who
lose their battle with cancer each year. The numbers
are big, but the stories are personal. Each of these
individuals is a beloved mother, father, son,
daughter, friend or colleague.
The second part of the team behind each of
these personal cancer journeys is the researchers,
doctors, nurses and other health professionals
committed to giving Albertans their best chance
of preventing cancer, surviving it and thriving.
The boost donor contributions
give to their work accelerates
progress to our common goal.
On every front, we are
On every front, we are

a cancer-free future. But
progress can’t happen fast
enough. We thank our donors for their extraordinary
efforts in helping Alberta build momentum in the
fight against cancer and for helping making the
cancer journey easier for so many who fight it today.

It computes:
mining data for
promising drugs
By the time Dr. Jack Tuszynski’s
Pharma Matrix project is
complete, he hopes to have
3,000 computer processors
running 24 hours a day,
seven days a week.
I
t sounds like a lot of machine power, but the goal
is a lofty one: to identify new drug compounds that
may result in more efficient chemotherapy treatment
for different types of cancer.
“It will be a rather sophisticated technology
involving various software processes–we will screen
millions of chemical entities and be able to eliminate
compounds that aren’t good fits for treatment,”
says Tuszynski. “When we start taking out the
compounds that don’t work, we hope we will be
left with 0.1 per cent that hold promise.”
The new drug compounds will be identified
as the program recognizes them. “We’ll start with
the most likely candidates and then move towards the
more exotic compounds,” says Tuszynski. “Once we
have some results that we are confident will work, they
can be tested right here at the Cross Cancer Institute.
“We had no hope of ever being able to accomplish
this goal without these high performance computers
and the state-of-the-art algorithms.”
This modern facility wouldn’t be possible without
the generous support from the Allard Foundation,
which has had a long relationship with the Alberta
Cancer Board and Foundation. Thanks to their
leadership gift of $2 million, the Alberta Cancer
Foundation was able to establish a $3 million Chair
in experimental oncology and Tuszynski was recruited
for the position.
An additional gift this year
of $1 million will help provide
the hardware, infrastructure
and manpower to propel the
laboratory and help position
Edmonton’s Cross Cancer Institute
as a location for world-class cancer
therapy research.
“Dr. Tuszynski’s work is leading
edge,” says Robert Manning,
from the Allard Foundation.
“It represents a focused approach
to computational drug design,
in silico (by computer simulation)
and in vitro (in test tube or culture dish) testing
of novel chemotherapy entities, with the goal
of optimizing and personalizing chemotherapy
agents for a particular patient.”
The Allard Foundation is excited that research
done in Edmonton could identify new drug
compounds with potentially reduced side effects
aimed at increasing survival rates and the quality
of life for patients.
“We also hope to see the testing of these
compounds resulting in clinical trials in Alberta,
leading to successful clinical applications for
cancer patients,” says Cathy Roozen, from the
Allard Foundation. “Focused research allied with
solid commercial input will help develop a drug
discovery pipeline and an intellectual property
portfolio that can help position the Cross and the
Alberta Cancer Board as long-term, world-class
players in the areas of cancer chemotherapy research
and treatment.”
Tuszynski hopes to have the first phase, with 1,000
processors, running by the end of the calendar year.

Jackie Clark had a lot
on her mind while she
walked 5K in the 2007
Underwear Affair*
in Calgary.
T
Jackie Clark, fundraiser in memory
of her son, Brent
wo weeks earlier, her 34-year-old son Brent died
from colon cancer, two years after he was diagnosed.
As emotional as it was– Jackie had also lost her father
within that two-week span – she wanted to see it
through. She did more than that. Clark, with help
from her husband Raymond, collected more than
$8,000 and was the top fundraiser
at the close of the first event of its
kind in Alberta.
“I told Brent all along how much
money we had raised and it helped
me get through such a hard time
and gave me something to work
at and focus on,” says Clark.
“Raymond came to the course
and supported me throughout,
but I ended up walking by myself –
I needed to be on my own.”
Clark has always volunteered as
a canvasser for cancer research –
she lost her mother and a number
of other close relatives to the
disease – but it hit even closer to
home in early 2007 when she saw a brochure for the
Underwear Affair, which supports the battle against
cancers below the waist.
Brent had almost realized his lifelong dream when
he received his devastating news. A week before
he was to graduate from the Calgary City Police,
he was diagnosed with cancer. “He wasn’t feeling
well at training and brushed it off– he wasn’t one
to complain, even as a child,” says Clark. A classmate
convinced him to go to the hospital, which he did
that Friday evening. He was admitted and tested and
doctors confirmed on Monday after a colonoscopy
that he had a tennis ball sized tumour in his colon.
Despite being incredibly weak, Brent was
determined to get through his graduation ceremony.
He was released from hospital so he could complete
the final week and rehearse the ceremony. The police
academy set aside a chair in case he couldn’t finish,
but he marched until the end. He returned to hospital
following his graduation for surgery; six weeks later
he started chemo and took a back office job with
the police. “He couldn’t even wear his uniform
because he was so sore,” says Clark. He eventually
moved up to a front office job and went onto the
streets in October 2006, where he spent a year
to the day, until he found out the cancer was back.
“He even managed to go in during his off
chemo weeks,” says Jackie. “He was an inspiration
to everyone.”
But with a tumour on a major artery, Brent grew
weaker as he was going through aggressive chemo.
One evening when his wife, Laura, tried to take
him to an appointment, he collapsed near the
front door. She convinced him to go hospital but
with one condition, he said. No sirens or lights.
He didn’t want the attention.
“I just thought he would go in and they would
hydrate him, get his meds sorted out and he’d
come home,” says Jackie. “That was a Tuesday
he went in. My daughter-in-law was called on
Thursday morning, saying he probably wouldn’t
make it through the weekend, and he didn’t.”
Clark takes some solace knowing her fundraising
efforts will help raise awareness about Brent’s disease
and other cancers below the waist, such as colorectal,
ovarian, cervical and prostate. She and other Albertans
raised a total of $1.24 million for the cause in 2007.
Clark often sits at her desk, looking at the shelf
filled with memories of Brent and his two daughters:
a framed picture of Brent in uniform; a special rock
his eldest daughter, Samantha, found; coloured curly
ribbon he and the girls played with, and her Top
Fundraiser plaque from the Underwear Affair. They
will all be given to the girls one day for keepsakes.
“Hopefully the Underwear Affair event will help
us get the message out to people that colon cancer
and other cancers below the belt can affect young,
healthy and active people,” says Clark.
* The Underwear
Affair is a fun-filled 5K
walk or 10K run where
participants dress in
their skivvies– or the
most outrageous
underwear they can
find– to raise funds
and build awareness
for cancers below
the waist.

Alberta Cancer Foundation 07/08 Annual Review
Sowing the
seeds of
a legacy
Catherine Ellis never
imagined she’d marry
a farmer, but then the
city girl fell in love.
Her life didn’t
change much–at first.
E
llis and her husband, Graham, lived in Calgary
throughout the ’70s and most of the ’80s, while
she worked as a public health nutritionist, and he
commuted to work at a farm not far from the city.
In 1986, after years of hard work and saving,
they bought 960 acres near Olds, where they grew
wheat, barley and canola. The land was fertile, the
landscape was beautiful and life was good. Then
cancer struck. Graham contracted non-Hodgkin’s
lymphoma, and he died in 1991 after a painful battle.
Widowed at 48, Ellis wanted to keep the farm so
she could give her two sons, 16 and 13 at the time,
the opportunity to take it over one day.
“If I had sold out, they wouldn’t have had the
choice,” she says. “I insisted they go to university
to get an education, but I also wanted to give them
the opportunity to run the farm,
if that’s what they wanted.”
I’ve probably become
Low on options herself, Ellis
took over day-to-day operations
a little handier than
of the farm. She rented out some
most women
of the land, and brought on a
hired hand to help her and her boys with the rest.
“It was a steep learning curve. The hardest part was
probably getting my class 3 license so I could drive
the grain truck to the elevator in town,” she says.
She also learned how to drive a combine
and a tractor and operate and maintain the farm’s
water system.
“I’ve probably become a little
handier than most women,” she
says. “But I was lucky. We had
helpful neighbours, and the boys
were good workers.”
After university, both of her
sons decided to return to farming.
The eldest runs the family homestead, and his younger brother
tills land that he bought a few
kilometers away.
Retired now, Catherine lives
in Olds and helps her sons with
their accounting books. She has
five grandchildren, all boys.
“Lots of potential for more farmers,” she says.
It was in the spirit of building a legacy that Ellis
decided to transform her life insurance policy into
three separate ones and donate one of them to the
Alberta Cancer Foundation.
“My life has been touched quite a bit by cancer.
My dad died of it at 56 and my husband at 52, and
it has taken numerous other relatives and friends,
and I just think it would be great to have treatments
that work and aren’t so debilitating,” she says.
Brian Shea, chief development officer with the
Foundation, explained that donations usually come
in the form of money, stocks or gifts-in-kind, such
as real estate. People also make deferred donations
through their wills but gifts of life insurance are still
relatively rare.
“We’ll get maybe two a year,” he says, adding
that the gift is a thoughtful way to make a deferred
contribution.
“In most cases, the policy holder makes the tax
deductible premium payments on the policy until he
or she passes away, and then the insurance company
pays the benefits to the charity,” Shea explains.
“We’re very grateful for Catherine’s gift,” he adds.
“It always amazes me how generous people can be.
It’s nice to know that people see the value in the
work we do and recognize the future impact their
gift will have.”
“Cancer causes a lot of suffering to the individual,
as well as to their family, so anything one might be able
to do to help with that is great,” Ellis says. “It’s only
through research that we’ll learn more about it and
be able to improve things for the next generation.”
Non-smoker tackles
lung cancer head on

Jon Glans’ laugh comes easily.
“I haven’t golfed this year, but
I’m on a holiday from chemo
now, so maybe I’ll build up and
have some energy to expend.
You never know,” he says, with
his customary chuckle.
M
ost would agree Glans was dealt a bad break when
he was diagnosed with lung cancer a few years ago.
Many connect the disease with smoking, but Glans
hadn’t puffed a cigarette in 30 years. He knows the
odds are stacked against him now, but you wouldn’t
know it from talking to him – or seeing what he
is able to do.
Last year, the retired Calgary businessman
organized a charity golf tournament and donated
$85,000 in proceeds to the Alberta Cancer
Foundation. He’s doing it again this year with
a goal of raising $125,000.
Glans designates all the money he raises to help
fund the lung cancer tissue bank recently created
at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre in Calgary.
“We’re building a tissue micro-array and database
of the tumors that we collect from patients in biopsies
and surgeries,” says Dr. Don Morris, a lung cancer
physician and head of the Lung Research Group
at the Tom Baker.
Researchers and clinicians use the tissue bank to
analyze the molecular markers found in existing tumor
samples and then cross-reference them with patient
samples in order to customize treatment programs.
“It’s a matter of determining the right treatment
for the right patient at the right time,” Morris says.
The tissue bank is funded entirely through donations.
“What we need to run the lung cancer tissue
bank is a small fragment of what is being funded
for other tumor sites,” Morris says.
“Historically, lung cancer research has been
under-funded compared to other types of cancer,
even though it is the most common cause of cancer
death in Alberta,” Morris adds. “Unfortunately, lung
cancer patients don’t live long enough to form huge
advocacy groups, like the patients of other forms
of cancer.”
Paul Clark and his family are among those who
are supporting Morris’ efforts.
“We believe in what Don is doing. He is clearly
one of the very brightest people around in this area,
and if we don’t help him to develop solutions, then
he’ll find other places to do his work, and Alberta will
be poorer because of it,” says Clark, the primary vicepresident, communications, for CP Rail.
“I think lung cancer research is funded less
than some other forms of cancer because it is often
presented as being the result of people’s smoking
habits – a negative lifestyle choice they have made
– but that’s not always the case,” adds Clark, whose
life has been personally touched by lung cancer.
About 15 to 20 per cent of people who contract
lung cancer have never smoked or been exposed
consistently to second-hand smoke or asbestos.
“We really do need to do a lot of work to
investigate prevention, screening and treatment
of this disease, which is a huge health burden
to Albertans. We’re making inroads, but we need
a much bigger push,” Morris says.
“Any support for cancer research is great
and needed, but I’d like to close
the gap in funding between lung
cancer and some of the other
cancers,” Glans says.
“A golf tournament is a start,
but the needs for lung cancer
research are far greater than what
we can solve with a golf tournament.
It’s a step in the right direction,
though, and you have to start
somewhere,” he adds, with a laugh.
Lung cancer is one of the
top four cancers in Alberta and
the number one cancer killer.
The Alberta Cancer Foundation
recognizes this and will be focusing
fundraising efforts to support four
provincial research initiatives aimed at reducing
cancer incidence and mortality by targeting
these four major cancers: colorectal, lung,
breast and prostate.

Alberta Cancer Foundation 07/08 Annual Review
Stepping up
to challenge of
breast cancer
Thousands of walkers
and their feet have made
the Weekend to End
Breast Cancer Alberta’s
largest breast cancer
fundraising event.
E
ach summer, committed participants in both Calgary
and Edmonton tackle a 60K trek to raise money for
breast cancer research and province-wide breast
screening initiatives. In just three years, the event
has enabled the Alberta Cancer Foundation to invest
a staggering $17 million.
Although more than 1,950 Albertans will be
diagnosed with breast cancer this year, the disease’s
death rates in Alberta are lower
than the Canadian average.
Funds raised in 2006 This could be, in part, due
and 2007 established to the Alberta Cancer Board’s
improvements in early detection
a $5 million Endowed and more effective treatment.
Weekend to End Breast Regular screening is one
Cancer Research Chair of the best ways to catch breast
cancer at an early stage when it
is most treatable. A mobile van with state-of-the-art
mammography equipment, purchased with funds
from the Weekend to End Breast Cancer, is already
offering greater accessibility to breast screening for
women in more than 100 rural communities. Over the
next few years, new digital technology and public
awareness campaigns will be put into place to further
enhance the province-wide breast screening program.
The funds also support 30 breast cancer research
projects that might otherwise have gone unfunded.
Take Dr. Nigel Brockton, a researcher with the
Tom Baker Cancer Center in Calgary. He studies
breast cancer metastasis to the bone and believes
that up to 40 per cent of women with breast cancer
already have cells from their breast tumours in their
bone marrow. Only a small number of those patients
actually develop tumours (metastases) in the bone
and Brockton believes this could be related
to a number of factors, including vitamin D status
and inflammatory factors that encourage the cancer
to progress.
Dr. Bassam Abdulkarim is
studying how a new technology
called tomotherapy can make
radiation therapy a safer and
more effective treatment
option for the next generation
of cancer patients. Edmonton’s
Cross Cancer Institute is one
of only two centres in Canada
to use a prototype tomotherapy
machine, and Abdulkarim,
co-leader of the Edmonton study, is testing the
effectiveness of this technology on patients following
a lumpectomy. His research team is hoping to see
a significant reduction in the incidence of skin fibrosis,
a common side effect of radiation in which the breast
tissue becomes tender, more fibrous and less stretchy.
These projects are a sampling of how Alberta
scientists are pushing the research envelope thanks
to the outstanding participants and supporters
of the Weekend to End Breast Cancer.
“Funds raised in 2006 and 2007 established
a $5 million Endowed Weekend to End Breast
Cancer Research Chair that will play a pivotal role
in advancing our understanding and treatment
of the disease,” says Dr. John Mackey, co-chair
of research for the Northern Alberta Breast Cancer
Program. “We are conducting an international
search for a world-class breast cancer researcher
to help lead the Alberta breast cancer research
community to increase our chances of making
a significant advance in outcomes for people
with breast cancer.” All those footsteps are
making a difference.
The art of healing
When you can go and
express yourself and your
emotions creatively, it makes
a difference. That’s why the
Arts in Medicine program
played such a key role
in the lives of Sean Bayus
and his parents.
Weekend to End
Breast Cancer 2008

Together for a Cancer Free Future
W
hen Sean Bayus was a patient at the University of
Alberta Hospital being treated for a brain tumour,
his mother, Karen, would get him into a wheelchair,
put him in her vehicle, take him to the Cross Cancer
Institute and into his weekly Arts in Medicine class.
He would explore a number of different media from
soapstone carving to sculpture or whatever he was
inclined to do that week. When the class was over,
Karen would do the laborious process in reverse.
“It wasn’t that easy to do, but it was so worth it,”
says Karen. “Just the action of sanding down
soapstone was therapeutic for him.”
Sean died in May 2007 at the age of 23. During
the family’s cancer journey, one program that left an
imprint on Karen and her husband, Steven, was the
Arts in Medicine program run out of the Department
of Psychosocial and Spiritual Resources at the Cross
Cancer Institute. Offering workshops in quilting,
journaling, sculpting, photography and other
art media, the idea is to promote healing through
creative expression for patients, family members,
oncology staff and caregivers. Steven, for instance,
carved a soapstone bear, while Karen attended
a writing and painting class. Because of the stage
of Sean’s brain tumour, it was hard to know exactly
what he was thinking, says Karen, but he managed
to express himself through sculptures and figurines
he started but wasn’t able to finish.
“I felt that this was such a fantastic outlet.
When you spend so much time with doctors and in
the hospital, this added that emotional and spiritual
piece that we needed at the time,” says Karen.
So after Sean’s passing, the St. Albert couple
decided to donate money collected from memorial
donations to the Alberta Cancer Foundation
for ongoing support of the program. Steven and
Karen, both educators, continue to make monthly
donations. Funds from
the Bayus family helped
start harp workshops
at the Cross Cancer
Institute that are now
filled to capacity.
“This is such a
positive thing when
everything else you’re
dealing with can be so
negative,” says Karen.
“When you can go and
express yourself and
your emotions creatively,
it makes a difference.
“In my class, I was
the only one there without cancer. Everyone
expressed how lonely life had become during
treatment, perhaps because people don’t know
how to deal with it. These classes not only allow you
a break from what you are dealing with but a whole
new way to express how you feel.”
The Arts in Medicine program offers more
than 30 classes a year that are filled by more than
500 participants.

To hear the formula,

T
Dr. Matthew Parliament,
radiation oncologist
hat’s how the Edmonton Civic Employees Charitable
Assistance Fund works. Every two weeks, a combination
of nine unions and associations contribute to a fund
that is then allocated to different charities each year.
For two years, the Alberta Cancer Foundation has
been a recipient, specifically the IGAR (image-guided
adaptive radiotherapy) program led by Dr. Gino Fallone,
director of medical physics at the Cross Cancer Institute.
“A little bit of funds can really start
adding up,” says Brenda Waluk,
president of the fund. “And what
was really exciting to us is that this
technology, which improves the
way cancer patients are treated,
is right here in Edmonton, in our
own back yard.”
IGAR uses a combination of CT
scanning, MRI, and PET imaging to
determine the extent of a patient’s
cancer as accurately as possible.
Radiation therapy is then designed
specifically for that patient, using the
helical tomotherapy unit to deliver
a “sculpted” dose of radiation.
This means that the tumour receives the maximum
exposure to radiation, but the healthy tissue is spared
– even healthy tissue located very close to the tumour.
From the clinical perspective, advanced IGAR
technology allows medical professionals to target
all of the cancer cells with therapeutic radiation on
every single day of the patient’s treatment course,
says Dr. Matthew Parliament, a radiation oncologist
who is the director of the Division of Radiation
Oncology at the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton
and the University of Alberta.
“Damage to healthy normal tissues is minimized
using IGAR,” says Parliament. “From the perspective
of a cancer patient who needs to undergo radiation,
that means having the best chance of a cancer-free
future, retaining the best possible health-related
quality of life during and after treatment. Once cancer
treatment is over, patients are increasingly returning
to a brighter and happier future with their families,
loved ones, friends and workplace colleagues.”
So when John Loewen was diagnosed with
prostate cancer, Parliament suggested he undergo
radiation therapy using the IGAR technique.
“Dr. Parliament said he felt we should proceed
with the IGAR treatment, and I agreed,” says Loewen.
“I said, ‘You’re the expert, and if you feel that
is what we should do, then we’ll do it.’ That is when
I immediately began seven weeks of radiation
treatment using IGAR.”
It would have been difficult to treat Loewen’s
prostate cancer with conventional radiation therapy,
because tumours of the prostate often move during
the treatment session. However, with the use of IGAR,
the correct dose of radiation could be delivered
directly to the tumour.
Today, Loewen is cancer-free. His good outcome
can be attributed to the use of IGAR for his treatment
and to the care he received at the Cross Cancer
Institute. “I really appreciate how well they treated
me at the Cross,” says Loewen. “My care was
excellent. I was so impressed.”
That’s what Waluk likes to hear. “Going through
cancer treatment is so hard, so anything our fund
can do to make it better is a good thing.”
Parliament also benefited from the generous
support of motorcycle-riding Edmontonians. Organizers
of the 2007 Motorcycle Ride for Dad, which raises
money for prostate cancer research and awareness,
presented more than $57,000 to the Alberta Cancer
Foundation to help fund a three-year grant awarded to
Parliament and his team at the Cross Cancer Institute.
He is studying the contribution of each patient’s own
genetic makeup to the development of post-radiation
complications, ultimately moving toward the development of predictive tests to avoid radiation injury.
Parliament and his team will examine gene markers
and blood proteins in approximately 300 prostate
cancer survivors who have received three-dimensional
conformal radiotherapy (3D CRT) at the Cross Cancer
Institute and Tom Baker Cancer Centre.

Special meaning
to this year’s
golf classic
When Fred Coles moved
to the Heritage Pointe golf
community in Calgary,
he had three memberships
at different courses and would
average 100 rounds a year.
S
o it is fitting that Fred combined the game he loves
with his commitment to raising money for cancer
research in the annual Tom Baker Cancer Center
(TBCC) Golf Classic. For years, he chaired the annual
TBCC Golf Classic and worked as a dedicated
community volunteer, passionate about improving
the care and quality of life for cancer patients and
their families.
When Fred was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s
lymphoma in 1997, his son, Warren, and a friend
shaved their heads to raise
money for cancer research.
I wish I could say this Warren’s company then

He played a key role in making
the event one of the Alberta Cancer Foundation’s
flagship fundraisers and remained actively involved
until his death from cancer on May 1, 2008.
“Cancer research was near and dear to our
hearts for obvious reasons but we had the opportunity
to meet the Heaver family, who originally started
this event,” says Warren. “And Dad lived at Heritage
Pointe, which was Heaver land, so there was
a really neat tie in
and everything fit
in well into our family
bailiwick.”
Warren, who has
also been on the TBCC
Golf Classic committee
off and on for a decade,
had mixed emotions
about the September
2008 sold-out event,
which was dedicated
to his father. The 2008
tournament was
renamed the Fred C. Coles Memorial Golf
Classic in support of the Tom Baker Cancer Center.
A research fellowship is also being established
in Fred’s name.
Born in Calgary in 1944, Fred made the city his
home for most of his life. He left to study petroleum
engineering at the University of Wyoming and
to Rainbow Lake where he ran the local gas plant.
In 1972 Fred returned to Calgary and was always
pleased to help raise funds for his city’s Tom Baker
Cancer Center.
This year’s tournament marks the 17th annual
event with a proud history of having raised more
than $3 million for research and patient programs
in Southern Alberta.
“I wish I could say this year’s event didn’t have
to take on that special meaning because my dad
is not here, but it does,” says Warren. “We just want
to make sure the tournament itself doesn’t change its
focus or what it tries to do. Dad would have wanted
things to carry on the way he planned.”

Alberta Cancer Foundation 07/08 Annual Review
World’s longest
hockey game
Late one night this past
February, Bob Walker had
settled in at home to do
some work on his computer,
when something on TV
in the background
caught his eye.
I
Dr. Brent Saik, fundraiser in memory
of his wife and father
t was the intermission of an Edmonton Oilers
hockey game, and the vice-president of Ledcor
Construction Limited pulled his head up from
crunching numbers to watch Dr. Brent Saik struggle
through an interview. Saik looked like a ghost, and,
as Walker heard his story, he needn’t wonder why.
Saik and 39 others were near the end of an
attempt to play the world’s longest hockey game–
10 continuous days–to raise money
for the Alberta Cancer Foundation.
If that wasn’t hard enough, the
game was being played outside,
and central Alberta had been stuck
in a bone-chilling deep freeze,
with temperatures plummeting
as low as -40 C and colder with
the wind-chill factor thrown in.
Saik and his sleep-deprived crew
had already raised $350,000, but
they were stuck at that number,
and if they could receive $500,000
they would match a pledge from
the Alberta government and
be able to purchase a $1 million
confocal microscope for the Cross Cancer Institute
in Edmonton.
“As soon as I saw that, I thought, ‘That’s it, that’s
what we’ll do,’” Walker said. “It was so fortunate that
I saw the TV interview then, it was a great stroke of luck.
Ledcor had celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2007,
and the multi-disciplined construction company had
been looking for ways to share some of its success.
In particular, Ledcor wanted to focus one area of its
philanthropy efforts to support children’s health–
something the confocal microscope will surely do.
Within a few weeks, Walker met with representatives
from the Foundation and pledged that Ledcor would
bridge the $150,000 gap needed to meet the
$500,000 goal.
“That was a good meeting,” Walker says.
“People ask, ‘Who feels better, the giver or the
receiver?’ Well, I can tell you, the giver felt pretty
good that day.”
Ledcor is a private, employee owned company,
with more than 5,000 employees scattered across
14 branches in North America, and most of its
charitable activities are done anonymously. However,
when the company makes donations, they’ll usually
tell their employees what they’ve done in order
to share the glow of giving.
“After that meeting, I sent an email to our
Edmonton group to let them know what we’d done,
and within hours I received
so much positive feedback,
it was overwhelming,” Walker
I’ll keep doing them
says. “One employee emailed
for as long as I can or
me that she had been going
to the Cross every day to visit we get a cure for cancer,
a relative who was fighting
whichever comes first.
cancer, and she said she was
so proud to be a part of this organization when she
heard about the donation. I got a lot of messages
like that.”
The world record-breaking hockey game Saik
organized in 2008 was the third such game he has
spearheaded in five years, with each one running
longer and raising more money. He said he had
a “weird feeling” when he heard about the Ledcor
donation, the largest that his group has received
over the years.
“We have so many people who do so much for
us, and whether it’s a kid who gives us $20 that he’s
spent all year saving or a big company like Ledcor
giving us a huge donation, we know that it’s a big
decision for them, and it blows me away every time,”
says Saik, an optometrist whose wife and father have
succumbed to cancer.
21
Together for a Cancer Free Future
“Before we do these games we get sort of a
shopping list from the Foundation, and their big
wish was for the confocal microscope, so we went
for it,” he says.
“This microscope will be our working-horse
machine,” says Dr. Xuejun Sun, director of the
cell imaging facility at the Cross Cancer Institute.
“It’s a newer generation research instrument that
allows us to look at live cancer cells, which helps
us understand their properties and how drugs and
other therapies may be able to work on them.”
Sun said the microscope is expected to arrive
and be in operation by the end of the year.
“Of course, we’re all really excited to get this
instrument,” Sun added. “It will help us to make
important discoveries, and we’re really grateful
to Ledcor and Dr. Saik and everyone else who
made this happen.”
Walker says, “After we made this donation,
I heard so many stories about how people’s lives
have been affected by cancer, and it makes what
you’ve done so much more special.”
Saik added that the 2008 hockey game won’t
likely be the last of its kind.
“I’ll do another one, for sure,” he says. “I’ll keep
doing them for as long as I can, or we get a cure
for cancer, whichever comes first.”
Terry Gomke, President
and CEO of Gibson
Energy, and Linda
Gomke, show ongoing
commitment to
provincial programs
in need
Coping with the
cost of cancer
A self-employed couple in their 50s faces a disconnection
notice for utilities they can’t afford. An at-risk patient whose
phone is on the verge of disconnection needs the contact
to reach his medical team or EMS. An out-of-town patient
forced to travel for radiation therapy has trouble paying
for meals and accommodation.
These situations are real and have received support
from the Alberta Cancer Foundation’s Patient Financial
Assistance Program.
Patients and families often say that coping with a cancer
diagnosis is easier than dealing with the stress of financial
concerns resulting from their illness. The Patient Financial
Assistance Program provides temporary short-term assistance
so families may focus on their recovery, instead of how to pay
transportation costs or find extra funds for the anti-nausea
drugs needed after treatment.
Gibson Energy became a corporate donor to the
Alberta Cancer Foundation to help people face these
additional burdens. The private, Alberta-based company,
which develops implements and supports midstream solutions
for the oil and gas industry, has made a five-year commitment
to the program. Gibson’s President and CEO Terry Gomke
says it is important his company stays committed to provincial
programs in need.
“As contributing and proud Albertans, we at Gibson
truly believe we’re living in the greatest place on earth,”
says Gomke. “We understand, however, that it’s our privilege
and duty to give back to the community as much as possible.
We work hard at making sure that happens, through our
time, monetary contributions and as part of our daily lives.”
With support from donors such as Gibson, social workers
are able to provide short-term financial grants to approximately
500 patients and their families every year, allowing them
to focus on what is really important–beating cancer.

S
cientists may unlock the secrets of a deadly disease,
but it won’t mean much unless they can find the means
to translate their discovery into drugs or other forms
of treatment that can help patients.
To that end, Roche Canada recently announced
a $1 million gift to support the Roche Fellowship in
Translational Research for the Alberta Cancer Board.
The fellowship will be awarded to a scientist or

been people who have done it,
but in reality it is very hard for one person to develop
the skills needed to conduct research and also be
able to apply what they’ve learned as a clinician,”
says Dr. Carol Cass, vice-president of the Alberta
Cancer Board and director of the Cross Cancer
Institute in Edmonton.
“There is a shortage of people in the world who
have the qualifications and commitment necessary
to do translational cancer research,” Cass adds.
“That’s why this support from Roche– a no-stringsattached fellowship for research translation–is such
a generous and thoughtful initiative.”
Ronnie Miller, president and
CEO of Roche Canada , says,
“Roche employs an inside-out
approach to community giving.
This means we spend a great
deal of time learning about what’s
important to our business, what
our employees value and where
the needs exist in the community.
We use this information to establish
our corporate giving plans.”
The Roche fellowship will
be awarded annually for the next
10 years through a competition.
The recipient will become a fellow
in the Alberta Cancer Board Translational Training in
Cancer Research Program, with an option to work
in either Calgary or Edmonton. The first fellowship
is expected to be awarded in the fall of 2008.
“This fellowship will help ensure implementation
keeps pace, and patients benefit as soon as possible
from what is learned. Roche looks forward to seeing
the real-world benefits to patients,” Miller says.
“Roche and the Alberta Cancer Board share
a common goal and that is to advance the
understanding of cancer and develop innovative
approaches and treatments that will improve
the quality of life for Canadians,” Miller adds.
“We’re proud to partner with the Alberta Cancer
Board and Foundation to support cutting-edge
projects being conducted by top-notch researchers.”
“Unless you have multi-faceted facilities, such
as we have at the Cross Cancer Institute, you often
have a separation between research and the clinic,
but we’ve set up an environment that promotes
research translation. We’ve had many successes
in the past,” says Cass, “and we believe this
Roche fellowship will help us achieve more
in the future.”

Face off
against cancer
Dr. Carol Cass,
Vice-President,
Alberta Cancer Board
and Director of the
Cross Cancer Institute
It is not an event anyone’s
husband hopes to organize,
but when Memory Marshall
died of pregnancy-related
cancer gestational trophoblastic
neoplasia (GTN), Lyall Marshall
took on the challenge.
M
emory was a geologist in Calgary and had just
given birth to their first child, Diamond, when she
was diagnosed with GTN on September 15, 2005.
This rare form of cancer that affects one in every
40,000 new mothers has a 50 per cent survival rate,
but on January 9, 2007, Memory passed away.
Her daughter was only 18 months old. Lyall then
established Memory’s Foundation to share the story
of his wife’s inspirational fight and to raise funds
for the battle against cancer and as a legacy for
their daughter.
“I personally never want to see another mother
so sick that she cannot take care of her baby again,”
Lyall says. “Her life will save other moms in the future
and there will be justice in the fight against cancer.
Memory’s body may have failed, but her spirit
continues today and will stay with us forever.”
To honour Memory’s spirit, Lyall organizes an annual
September hockey tournament in Calgary, Face-off
Against Cancer, and contributes the proceeds to the
Alberta Cancer Foundation. In 2007, the event raised
more than $250,000.
This year’s event will pay tribute to Crystal Violante,
another young mother who lost her courageous battle
with cancer. Violante was a public communications
representative in Calgary diagnosed with a rare
form of malignant melanoma shortly after giving
birth to her first child. An emergency MRI revealed
23
the cancer had spread to her spine, hips and pelvic
region, as well as her liver and lungs. She died six
months after her diagnosis when her daughter was
eight months old.
Lyall, president of Memory’s Foundation, first
learned of Crystal’s situation when he spotted a story
in a Calgary newspaper about her fight against cancer.
“I felt we had to help their family in some way,”
says Lyall. “Few people really understand how draining
this is emotionally and physically. It’s a grind and your
routine becomes absolutely crazy. You forget to
eat and you’re dead tired, but you’re trying
to stay positive.”
Lyall contacted Crystal’s
husband, Anthony, and offered
I hope to see the event
assistance. “Crystal was moved

by the foundation and their

goals,” says Anthony. “When

foundation I was eager to meet
him. I thought, ‘finally, someone that I can talk to that
knows where I’m coming from.’ Meeting Lyall was
really good for me, however, it was a turning point
in the road. When he shared his story with me it was
the first time I really thought ‘Crystal could really die
and I would be left behind to pick up the pieces.’
Lyall made himself available to me for emotional
support whenever I needed it.”
Anthony is now thrilled to be a part of this year’s
Face Off Against Cancer tournament. “I see this
group doing amazing things for cancer funding
and research and I hope to see the event grow
to its maximum potential, whatever that may be,”
says Anthony.

world-class research.
S
Dr. Stephen Robbins,
vice-director of the
Southern Alberta Cancer
Research Institute
everal years ago, the Alberta Cancer Foundation
made a commitment to assist with the development
and expansion of cancer research in Calgary.
This year, the Foundation provided funds totaling
$4.1 million to help outfit and equip new lab space
that will be home to dozens of researchers, fellows
and graduate students all focused on developing
an integrated approach to fighting cancer.
On the second floor of the
University of Calgary’s Health
Research Innovation Centre,
researchers who were once
scattered on different floors
and buildings are now working
together in dedicated space
named the Howard Cancer
Research Centre. Additional
funds from the Kids Cancer Care
Foundation and the Clark Smith
family contributed to outfitting
the new space.
“These funds allowed us to
develop a focused research effort
within the footprint of the space
and it brought the clinical and basic scientists to this
new hub,” says Dr. Stephen Robbins, vice-director
of the Southern Alberta Cancer Research Institute.
“This allows us to put everything together in terms
of scientific collaboration–it really is about going
from the bench to the bedside and the bedside
to the bench.
The Howard Cancer Research Centre
accommodates the labs of four major research
chairs: the Alberta Cancer Foundation Chair

the not-yet-filled Chair in Molecular Cancer
Epidemiology (co-funded with the University

Chair in Pediatric Oncology (co-funded with Kids
Cancer Care Foundation, University of Calgary
and the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation).
“Having clinical and basic scientists in such close
proximity to each other and to patients at the
Tom Baker Cancer Centre means a more streamlined approach to finding the answers we need
to fight the disease,” says Robbins. “In addition,
we anticipate that this new space and equipment
will help in recruitment efforts,” he says. “When top
scientists see who they will be working beside and
the leading-edge technology available in our labs
there is added incentive to come here.
“This focused cancer research effort can only
mean more promising outcomes for Albertans.”

The Alberta Cancer Foundation was
established in 1984 to support and
enhance the treatment facilities
and provincial care programs of the
Alberta Cancer Board. The money
you give supports research discoveries
that will improve treatments and
save lives. Your donations directly
support patient care and help
caregivers provide information
and comfort to patients and their
families. And, keeping Albertans
informed about the role they can
play in a healthy future will pay
tremendous dividends.
