Andrea and Kent Wierenga on their wedding day

Happily ever after
Andrea and Kent Wierenga were already living their “happily ever after,” by the time they said, “I do.”
It was the perfect wedding, the typical flurry of last-minute fussing about the dress, hair and flowers, before
walking down the aisle in front of a warm circle of family and friends. But on this summer day, the bride
and groom added a twist to tradition. Guests were asked to “pay” for reception drinks with a donation to the
Alberta Cancer Foundation.
When Andrea was just 14, she was diagnosed with a brain tumour, oligodendroglioma. “I had no symptoms,”
says Andrea. “No headaches or anything. I was camping with my grandma, grandpa and cousins at Sylvan Lake
and my cousin noticed I was having a seizure in my sleep.
Research conducted years before Andrea’s diagnosis made it possible for her to survive and be “thrown together
on the dance floor at a wedding” with her future husband, Kent, a farmer in Neerlandia, AB.
Although there is a risk of the cancer returning, Andrea has been given a clean bill of health from Dr. Roa and
her only follow up is an annual visit to a neuro-ophthalmologist. The road from that diagnosis to her wedding
vows took courage and stamina. “I just wanted to be like everyone else,” says Andrea. “That was my attitude the
whole time. I just wanted to be a kid.”
Andrea, now a Grade 5 teacher at Barrhead Elementary School as well as a farmer’s wife in Neerlandia, is
committed to ensuring research continues. “Since Andrea’s treatment,” says Dr. Roa, “additional targeting
capability has been developed, where computers help plan the radiation with best possible angles and
combinations.”
Continued funding is critical, says Roa. “New functional imagings with specific tracers are being developed,”
he says. “They can reveal tumor activity even before the eyes can see it on conventional scans. This allows early
detection of a tumor and unprecedented radiotherapy precision. This is an exciting time when personalized
treatment becomes reality.”
For those facing a cancer diagnosis today, “I’m living proof it can be beaten,” says Andrea. “I don’t even want to
think about the possibility of my cancer returning. Instead, I concentrate on living life to the fullest.”
And with their wedding gift to the future, Andrea and Kent are ensuring many more people will be living proof
that a cancer-free future is possible.

Andrea’s doctor, Dr. Wilson Roa, says “I am happy to see Andrea has done so well and is living life to the fullest.
She received a course of 3D conformal radiation therapy based on research conducted in the early 90’s. This
treatment helped protect her normal brain and eye functions even though the tumor was situated at a critical
location.”
“The blessing was that I was on the bunk bed with my cousin. Had I been home, no one would have noticed
the seizure and the cancer might never have been found,” says Andrea. At that time, the cancer was at an early
stage and about the size of a cherry. Andrea had surgery in August that year followed by radiation therapy at the
Cross Cancer Institute.
Sharing a life celebration
She is only 13, yet Elizabeth Wishart is a long-standing Alberta Cancer Foundation donor and
decided to mark an important rite of passage in her faith, by giving even more.
Elizabeth started giving while still a student at Edmonton’s Belgravia Elementary School when she
created cards for patients at the Cross Cancer Institute. Then she and her friends set up annual
lemonade stands and donated the money raised to the Cross Cancer Institute. When her mother,
Debby Waldman, suggested asking for donations to be made to the Albert Cancer Foundation
instead of gifts for her Bat Mitzvah, it didn’t take much convincing.

“I looked around at how much stuff my kids have and said to Elizabeth, ‘we will buy you one gift
and want you to consider putting everything else towards the Cross Cancer Institute,’” says Debby.
“She was happy to go along with it.”
So in January, the family started making Bat Mitzvah plans and a month later, their 21-year-old
neighbor was diagnosed with Stage 4 Melanoma. He died in June. “Elizabeth didn’t originally
decide to ask for donations because of Owen (Schlosser) but he had a big impact on her,” says
Waldman. “She is quite aware of how cancer touches people.”
albertacancer.ca
Elizabeth says Owen’s death made her “really sad,” but was also happy her decision might prevent
others from getting cancer in the future. “I knew I didn’t need more gifts and whenever I get
the chance to donate it’s been to the Cross Cancer Institute,” says Elizabeth, now a student at
McKernan Junior High. “I’m really happy that people listened to me and donated money. It made
me feel good.”
Almost $2,700 has been raised in Elizabeth’s honour.

The Diamond Dazzlers, BHP Billliton Diamonds employees, Weekend to End Breast Cancer particpants
Diamonds – a girl’s best friend
Sometimes the only word Barb Thorburn can come up with is, “wow.” When she looks back at
what her colleagues at the BHP Billiton Diamonds office in Yellowknife, NT have done since she
received her breast cancer diagnosis, she is almost speechless.
The team also knew that whatever it raised would be doubled through the BHP Billiton’s
Global Matched Giving program. So their last year’s total of $19,573.01 soon multiplied to
$39,146.02, thanks to the corporate support of BHP Billiton Diamonds. In 2008, the company
matched contributions totalling US$4.8 million that was distributed among 1150 not-for-profit
organizations and included matching for 115,000 hours of volunteering by employees in their
own personal time.
“Plus, when you consider the high incidence of breast cancer, the chances of one of the eight of
us on the team getting it are high. So we wanted to do something.”
They did it again, this year. The team, now named Diamond Dazzlers and with a few new faces,
walked 60 km in two days in Edmonton. The company’s Antwerp marketing office donated a stone
for this year’s event and raffle tickets for that prize raised $9,000 alone.
During last year’s event, Barb was undergoing radiation treatment at the Cross Cancer Institute
and couldn’t walk the 60 km (but her husband, Gerald, pitched in and gave foot rubs when he
could). This year, she was on the sidelines cheering on her friends that have done so much.
“I’m so proud to be a part of the team,” says Barb. “They took on this challenge and it was so
beautiful and overwhelming to see them carry through. They’re amazing.”

“Having that money matched sure helps,” says Rhona Stanislaus, a BHP Billiton Diamonds
employee in Yellowknife and last year’s Olympic Goddesses team captain. “This is an
important cause.
Eight co-workers rallied around Barb, who has been with the company for 15 years, to raise money
for cancer research. Dubbed the Olympic Goddesses, the women decided that the 2008 Weekend
to End Breast Cancer in Edmonton, was one of the best ways to show their support. So they raffled
off a donated diamond—they are in the diamond business, after all—held car washes, basket
raffles and other fundraising events that would push up their dollar tally. They also brought Barb
McDonald’s food when she was recovering at home and three of the women shaved their heads.
“The girls were always there for me—we’re like a big family and they made such a difference,”
says Barb.

Getting hairy for the cause
ATCO Structures & Logistics employees proved that being creative—and hairy—can work
wonders.
Last November, as part of ATCO’s Employees Participating in Communities (EPIC), the group
raised $15,000 for the Alberta Cancer Foundation in a moustache growing contest.
“It was the most popular event last year,” says Spencer Thomas, a sales co-ordinator with ATCO
Structures and Logistics. “We had such a great experience working with the Alberta Cancer
Foundation. It was ridiculous around here for a month.”
When the group decided to raise funds for men’s cancers such as testicular and prostate, it chose an
activity that fell in line. Fifty men signed up and started growing their facial hair while collecting
pledges from friends and family. Yet most of the donations came from the staff themselves, says
Thomas.
11

“It makes a difference when employees choose which charity they want to donate to,” he says.
“Cancer affects everybody and sadly, during the event, the father of one of our contestants was
diagnosed with prostate cancer so it reminded us even more about why we were doing this.”
EPIC gives employees the opportunity to contribute to their charity of choice in their home
community. Then ATCO matches the funds employees raise and pays administration costs for
the event. For 2008, ATCO and its people pledged to give $2.7 million to more than 500 charities
around the world.

Northern Alberta Boston Pizza Franchisees and Debra Cantalini-Gallant golf tournament fundraisers
Boston Pizza delivers
For years, the Boston Pizza Northern Alberta Franchisees have hosted an annual golf tournament
to raise funds for varied charitable organizations, rotating the different groups each year. But then
franchisee, Bob Adams, lost his wife Elise Gill to cancer and in 2002, asked the committee to direct
proceeds from the annual tournament to the Alberta Cancer Foundation and have been supporting
cancer research ever since.
“It was a way to honour her passing,” says Kelly McClung, business manager for the Northern
Alberta Boston Pizza Franchisees. “And now, sadly, we have so many franchisees touched by cancer
that this has become near and dear to our heart so that’s where the bulk of our money goes.”
“It’s been exciting to be a part of research, grants and new equipment that can help advance what
we know about cancer,” says McClung. “We’re happy to be able to do our part.”
Golf organizer undeterred
But the loss of her hair—yet again—was almost too much for this breast-cancer survivor because
it reminded her of her 1995 chemo treatments.
“When my hair came out after the fire, it took me back to a place I didn’t want to be,” Debra said,
adding that her hair grew back and the golf-tournament fundraiser in her name has been an
amazing motivator that helped in her recovery, not just once, but twice.
In 1997 she organized the first Debra Cantalini-Gallant Golf Tournament. In the first 12 years the
event raised $234,453 for the Medicine Hat Cancer Centre.
Following the December 2008 kitchen fire that nearly took her life, Debra’s husband Ernie worried
that organizing the tournament would be too much for her. She convinced him the tournament
must take place and with a strong support group of Royal LePage realtors, as well as from Ernie
himself, the July 9 Debra Cantalini-Gallant Golf Tournament went ahead. It took place just weeks
before she had to undergo even more skin grafts.
“I told Ernie, ‘Don’t take that away from me!’ I didn’t want to lose the tournament. It gives me
satisfaction and makes me feel high because I can put something back to a place (the Medicine Hat
Cancer Centre) that treated me so well,” Debra said.

Suffering burn injuries to 20 per cent of her body in a kitchen fire, followed by several surgeries
and the resultant pain didn’t stop Debra Cantalini-Gallant from organizing her annual golf
tournament in Medicine Hat.
The event—held in September this year at Blackhawk Golf Club—oversells quickly at $500 per
spot and allows the group to give not only to the Alberta Cancer Foundation but to several other
charities. Last year, they raised $191,000. To date, more than $460,000 has been raised for the
Alberta Cancer Foundation’s Cross Cancer Institute by the franchisee group.

A triathlon of fundraising
Jennifer Minardi was sitting in hospital with her dad, Chris Beer, when she first heard about the
Ride to Conquer Cancer. “We heard a commercial about the ride and I asked, ‘Who would do that?
Who would bike 200 kilometers?’ He looked at me and said, ‘You would!’”
And so Jennifer, who believed the idea was crazy from the get go, began training in an effort to
chase away the cancer that made her dad suffer so much.
“I signed up the day he got insanely sick. Cycling 200 km is hard, but watching your dad fight for
his life, knowing he won’t make it, is harder,” she said.
16
None of it was easy for Jennifer, 32, who is married and has two children, Isabella, four and Emily,
two. As a young mother, she’d had little time for exercise.
Somehow, between visits to the hospital and attending to her family, she began training three times
per week, covering more than 50 km each time, even though she hadn’t been on a bike since she
was 12.
“I started training one month before Dad died, Feb. 8. Then I took three weeks off and started
again March 1,” she said.
albertacancer.ca
Chris Beer was ill with kidney cancer for more than a year before he died. During his final year
Jennifer entered every Alberta Cancer Foundation event that came her way. She raised $590
walking 10 km in The Underwear Affair and $6,500 in The Ride to Conquer Cancer. She raised
more than $1,200 for the 33 km Weekend to End Breast Cancer. So far, her Jenny Walking, Biking
and Running for a Cure grand total is $8,390.
“I had so much support from family and friends,” she said, as she explained she wrote letters and
solicited individual donations as well as hosting four home-party events with all proceeds going to
her campaign to end cancer.
“I firmly believe that some day they’ll find something that maybe would have helped my dad.
Cancer is ugly. If I can run and bike and walk to help, I’ll do it this year and next year and every
year. I hope my kids will never have to go through what he did,” she said.
Her training sessions often begin with a hurting, aching, haunted feeling but by the end of a half
hour or so, her mind is freed up, almost as if she is on a holiday from cancerous thoughts.
“It was a way to process a lot of stuff about dad’s death because even when I trained with the kids
in a stroller, I had only my own thoughts. I learned a lot about myself and a lot about my hero, my
dad.” When she cycled the 200 grueling kilometers in the Ride to Conquer Cancer, she felt her dad
was with her.
“I know he was with me. I think he knew and would have been proud. And as soon as I passed the
finish line I was able to say ‘goodbye’ to dad,” she said.

Nicolys and Chris Argue
Pedaling for big brother
What a little brother won’t do. Eight-year-old Nicolys Argue’s older brother Chris, 28, had been
diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma so Nicolys started exploring ways to raise money for cancer
research.
“At first I thought I’ll run like Terry Fox did but then I thought it would take too long so then I
decided I would bike instead because I’m a really good biker,” says Nicolys, who is in Grade 4 at
Sherwood Park’s Lakeland Ridge School.
“I’m extremely proud of Nicolys,” says Bonita. “He was just a little trouper and even after the bike
ride, he wanted to turn around and ride all the way back. But it would have killed us old people, so
we didn’t let him.”
Nicolys’ goal was to raise a “couple hundred dollars,” but in the end he collected $3,630 for the
Alberta Cancer Foundation to support work at the Cross Cancer Institute.
“They took such good care of him at the Cross Cancer Institute, so it was important for us to
give back.”
As for young Nicolys, he is thrilled Chris is doing well now and that he was able to raise so much
money for such a good cause.
“It makes me feel happy because I helped a lot of people,” he says. “I want to do it every year but
next time it’s going to be even bigger and better.”
19
albertacancer.ca
“When Nicolys told me he wanted to do this, I knew we had to make it happen but now it is so
incredible to me that this tiny boy could raise all this money,” says Bonita. “We talked to Chris
about where he wanted the money to go.” Chris designated patient services, which administers the
Alberta Cancer Foundation’s financial assistance program. “When he had to take time off work for
treatment, if he hadn’t had help from us, he could have lost his home, so he realized how important
it was that the money go to help patients in financial need,” says Bonita.
Nicolys told his mom he planned to ride his bike on every street in Sherwood Park and collect one
dollar from every house he passed. While his mother, Bonita, encouraged his commitment, she
suggested that instead of stopping at strangers’ homes; perhaps he could cycle across Sherwood
Park on Lakeland Drive. So Nicolys knocked on the doors of his friends and families, telling him
about his brother and also sent a pledge form to his dad’s work. Then on October 12, Nicolys’ sister,
Stacy, dropped off his crew—parents, grandfather and friend—and they rode the 7.6 km across
town. Chris, in the middle of chemo treatment at the time, picked up the bikes at the finish.

Dennis Sprovich Memorial Volleyball tournament fundraiser for cancer research
Honouring a father’s memory
Kelly Soprovich had been organizing an annual volleyball tournament in his hometown of
Two Hills, Alberta for several years. So when his father, Dennis, died of pancreatic cancer in
November 1999, Kelly decided to turn it into an event that would raise money for cancer research.
It started out small—the first year it made $1,000—but by the 10th annual Dennis Soprovich
Memorial Volleyball tournament at the end of last March, the weekend raised $40,000. The
10-year goal was $100,000, and they exceeded that number, collecting a total of $117,000 in Dennis’
name so far. “This event morphed into something much bigger,” says Kelly, who played volleyball
at NAIT and in an Edmonton league, where he now lives. “We’re proud we’ve been able to raise this
money for cancer research in memory of our father.”
Every spring, as many as 28 teams have travelled to Two Hills where participants are treated to
social events that include catered meals, auction and dance. Family members spend hours planning
and organizing the tournament and every year, when Kelly, his two siblings, mother and friends
and family start soliciting for donations, people continue to generously give to cancer research.
“We try to make it a really good time for everyone and people keep coming back year after year,”
says Kelly, who also plays in the tournament. “But so many people support us because it’s an
important cause. It has been great.”
Decent exposure for the cure

He lives outside Drumheller, Alberta on a farm with his family. He is not a cancer survivor and has
not made any life saving discovery. Yet Ty Christensen, 15, is saving lives and having a great time
doing it. It really says something about the young man who ran 10 km in only his best pair of boxer
shorts and in front of thousands of people. Ty participated in the 2009 Calgary Underwear Affair
to benefit research, prevention, and treatment of the “under there” cancers including prostate and
testicular.
albertacancer.ca
Ty is quick witted, articulate, but most of all, he is proud to honour his late grandfather who died
of colorectal cancer when Ty was only six years old. “There are many reasons I registered to
participate the Underwear Affair but mostly in memory of my grandpa. Raising money to support
the under-funded research of these types of cancers is the best way I can pay tribute to him.
“My grandfather lived with us when I was young so we were very close. My favorite memories
of him are at Pine Lake. Grandpa had a great spot there so my family used to go with him every
summer.” Ty plans to make the Underwear Affair his new annual tradition.
Living on a farm has made Ty strong—a 10 km run doesn’t intimidate him. “I was not too worried
about the distance of the run. Besides being a farm boy my entire life, I have played baseball for a
number of years and am generally pretty active.”
Christensen has also taken his fundraising to a creative level. “I put donation boxes around the
school and in town with information about my run and the cause. There has been a really positive
response. I have heard of people who have actually put newspaper articles about me on their
refrigerators. That’s encouraging. “I’m excited to be a part of something this big. Plus, I run in my
underwear most of the time anyways,” he jokes, “I might as well do it while raising money for such
a great cause.”

Racer trades slopes for
a lab and a bike
Ten days before Dr. Nigel Brockton moved to Canada from Scotland, he was standing on top of a
mountain in France about to ski down at speeds reaching 150 miles an hour. Soon, the world-class
athlete would be packing his bags and hanging up his skis to concentrate on his research career as
a molecular epidemiologist in Calgary. Two years later, Nigel is more than happy with the move.
“When I applied for the job, I thought it was the ultimate position in the ultimate location and it’s
been ten times better,” says Nigel. “Regardless of the outstanding research environment, Calgary is
even better than I thought it would be.”
24
His entry into cancer research came after Nigel received a diagnosis in his final year of high school.
In the last week of summer holidays, when a lump kept growing larger in the soft tissue of his jaw,
an oral surgeon removed it immediately. At university, he kept skiing competitively while studying
to be a marine biologist but then his cancer returned. After nine months of intensive treatment,
he started researching ways to tie marine biology and cancer but soon abandoned that idea and
focused on the disease.
albertacancer.ca
Nigel hasn’t done much skiing since the move. Once Britain’s top-ranked speed racer—he broke
the British record twice and is that country’s only ski racer to have won an FIS World Cup Race—
Nigel’s research has been soaring instead.
Now, the epidemiologist is looking at the role of inflammation in the cause and progression of
cancer. Specifically, he is in the middle of a long-term breast cancer study investigating the role
of vitamin D and inflammation in the development of bone metastases. Another project on head
and neck cancer looks at the effect of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) status. Half of head and neck
cancers are caused by HPV and researchers have found a big effect on survival for people who
didn’t have the virus.
“The stage of disease might not be a good indicator for predicting the outcome in head and neck
cancer,” says Nigel. “By looking at HPV in tumours and specific genes, then we should be able to
decide on the best course of treatment. It’s exciting work.”
And to make up for his lack of time on the slopes, Nigel stays active cycling to and from the Tom
Baker Cancer Centre every day (he logs 6,000 km a year). He also coordinated a training group
of more than 75 riders and led weekly group training rides for the Alberta Cancer Foundation’s
annual two-day Ride to Conquer Cancer.
“Training and meeting new people has been such a positive experience,” says Nigel. “On the first
day, we were near the front of the pack but on day two, we left the camp a bit later and it gave you
a sense of how many people are involved. It was hard for me and I’m fit so I was in awe of so many
of these people. It was inspiring.” His commitment is infectious as his son is heard to declare, “I’m
going to conquer cancer,” on a home video of him riding a miniature bike in the living room.

Dr. Carol Cass, director of the Cross Cancer Institute
Luck leads to discovery,
recovery and empathy
Dr. Carol Cass calls it a “stroke of remarkable luck,” but anyone who knows her can attest to the fact that
luck only played a small part in carving out such an outstanding career in cancer research. Now Director of
the Cross Cancer Institute, Carol says she walked into an opportunity as a young researcher that shaped her
career path.
But it wasn’t just the right place at the right time. Carol soon discovered that nucleoside transporters could
carry anti-cancer drugs across human cell membranes and their absence resulted in resistance to anticancer nucleoside drugs—an important finding that demonstrated the role of basic research in improving
therapies for human disease. At the time, Carol and Alan Paterson were the only two researchers in the
world studying this field. Today, Carol is recognized around the globe as a leader in nucleoside transporter
research.
Ironically, along the way Carol was diagnosed with cancer. In 1990, she learned she had a benign brain
tumour that was wrapped around the optic nerve and after a craniotomy, lost vision in one eye. “There
were consequences for me but when you look at the alternatives, I consider myself to be lucky,” she says.
“I don’t think of myself very often as a cancer survivor because the tumor was benign but I am still a patient
at the Cross. Every few months, I sit with other patients in the waiting room—it’s been interesting to see the
organization from the other side.”
Despite being a world-class cancer researcher, Carol has lost several family members to the disease. Her
father died of prostate cancer, her mother died of leukemia and her sister and two sisters-in-law have been
diagnosed with breast cancer. “Like almost everyone else, I have a personal experience with cancer and as
a researcher and a person responsible for the cancer hospital in Edmonton, I understand the complexity of
the disease, the funding necessary to advance research and just how it affects people,” she says.
That’s why she is a donor as well. Aside from giving annually to various cancer fundraising events, when she
and her husband recently rewrote their wills, they named the Alberta Cancer Foundation to be the recipient
of half their estate.
And now, at 66, Carol plans to work for a few more years at full force, but is starting to shift her research
program to one where she mentors young scientists and “passes on the torch” to them. Still involved in the
administrative side of cancer care in the province, she is the Scientific Director Designate of the Alberta
Cancer Research Institute. “It’s quite remarkable when you think of where I was 40 years ago,” says Carol.
“I’m proud of my accomplishments, but there is still much to do, and I’m not finished yet.”
27
albertacancer.ca
She says the congruence that developed her career was being involved in the administrative side of being a
university researcher. In 1996, she moved from the Department of Biochemistry at the U of A to become the
founding Chair of the Department of Oncology and the Associate Director of Research at the Cross Cancer
Institute. “I was in an environment where there were clinicians interested in resistance to drugs that enter
cells on the transporters that we study,” says Carol. “So over the last 13 years, my research program which
still has significant discovery components has become highly translational.”
In 1970, Carol followed her plant biologist husband, Dave, to the University of Alberta where he took the
“only position available in North America in his specialty.” Newly armed with her PhD on cell resistance
to drugs, she “walked into Alan Paterson’s lab as a post-doc just as he discovered a process responsible for
transporting molecules into and out of cells, which is involved in uptake of an important group of anticancer drugs,” she says. “And 40 years later, I’m still working on it.”
Research to answer, “why me?”
“Why me?” is a common question for those who hear the words, “you have cancer.”
The Tomorrow Project, a long-term Alberta study is aimed at pinpointing the answer to that
question by investigating the role genetics, behaviour and environmental factors have on an
individual’s cancer risk.
“The most exciting thing is the possibility of what we can do with the large volume of information
we are collecting,” says Heather Whelan, research manager of the Tomorrow Project. “This rich
source of information will help answer so many really important questions.”
28
The Tomorrow Project is the largest population study in Canada and, this year, became the basis
for a national study through the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer. Over the next few years,
five main researchers and their host agencies in regions across the country will work together to
recruit 300,000 Canadians in this “population laboratory.” So far, more than 31,000 Albertans have
completed the three questionnaires: health and lifestyle, diet, and physical activity.
The idea is to collect as much information as possible from participants and track them until they
are 85. Throughout the study researchers compare almost everything about the lifestyle and history
of those who develop cancer with those who do not.
albertacancer.ca
Scientists have made enormous advances in understanding the causes of cancer, much of it
through basic science. But epidemiological studies like the Tomorrow Project are able to unravel
more about the complex interplay of genetics, lifestyle and environment, including exposures to
pathogens and toxins.
While it is now generally accepted that as many as 50 per cent of cancers may be attributable to
modifiable behaviours such as smoking, physical inactivity or poor diet, researchers suspect there’s
more to the story.
Heather says the Tomorrow Project is relentlessly focused on the Alberta Cancer Foundation’s
vision of a cancer free future. “We hope to inform cancer prevention strategies and reduce the
incidence of cancer we’re seeing in Alberta right now,” she says. Heather is also about to become a
mother. Everything she learns reduces the risk of cancer for her child
The next step is to recruit people to the study centres in Edmonton and Calgary where researchers
collect urine and blood samples, frozen for long-term storage.
Researchers will use these samples to examine gene-environment interactions and identify the
biologic mechanisms responsible for cancer and other chronic or long-term health conditions.
Research volunteers for the Tomorrow Project must be between 35 and 69 years old and cannot
have been diagnosed with cancer. Find out how you can participate at albertacancer.ca

Even as a young trainee, Dr. Marc Trudeau had an interest in clinical studies. In 1984, he was one
of the first doctors to sign up for phase I and phase II clinical research at the Princess Margaret
Hospital in Toronto. So when he was recruited to Alberta after graduation from the University of
Montreal and medical oncology training at the McGill Cancer Centre, he negotiated to set up trials
in Medicine Hat as part of his contract.
“I truly believe these trials help serve the people of Alberta,” says Marc, medical director of the
Medicine Hat Cancer Centre. “It gives more opportunity to the patient and may give them access
to drugs they otherwise could not get access to. And patients from Medicine Hat should not have
to travel to the Tom Baker Cancer Centre in Calgary or the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton to
access drugs.”
30
Dr. Bernie Eigl, Leader, Alberta Cancer Clinical Research Unit, agrees. In cancer care, maybe more
than in any other medical setting, clinical trials are a vital part of the treatment options that may be
offered to a patient, he says. “In some types of cancers there may be no good standard treatments
and I would argue that the management of all cancers can be improved upon greatly,” he says.
“Research—of which clinical trials are the ultimate step—is the only way to improve upon what we
presently have.”
albertacancer.ca
The Medicine Hat Cancer Centre has been running trials for almost a year. Two studies are
currently underway and a third is expected to start shortly. Because of Marc’s affiliation with the
National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP) –a clinical trials co-operative run
out of the United States—the southern cancer centre is the only one in Alberta testing the drug
Avastin in a preventative way on at-risk breast cancer patients. A second one is investigating first
line therapy for patients with metastatic breast cancer. He hopes to add another breast cancer and
a pancreatic cancer study before the end of the year.
Marc says he is a disciple of Bernard Fisher, a pioneering cancer researcher, whose systematic
clinical trials changed the way physicians managed breast cancer patients. Bernard Fisher invited
surgeons to discuss the creation of the Surgical Adjuvant Chemotherapy Breast Project, which
would later become the NSABP.
“He always started his lectures by telling people that 99.999 per cent of patients in North America
don’t go in clinical trials, yet it was a faster way to get access to treatment,” says Marc. “And now
in Medicine Hat, these trials give patients access to drugs that are not indicated or on the market
for cancer.
“And now it’s a passion for me.”
The people of Medicine Hat, and really the province of Alberta, are lucky to have someone of
Marc’s caliber in their region, says Dr. Eigl. “It was a coup for us to get Dr. Trudeau here,” he says.
“He wants to be the best doctor and the way to do that is to be as close to the research as possible
and that is what he is doing now.”

Innovative philanthropists Diane and Daryl Howard
Investing in a healthy return
Daryl Howard remembers looking at a concrete floor in the Health Research Innovation
Centre (HRIC) trying to imagine how it would be transformed into world-class research space.
Constructed at a time when contractors were difficult to land, the Calgary labs seemed eons away
from being ready to open its doors to talented minds and groundbreaking discoveries.
But now Daryl is thrilled to see those minds at work in the space, racing to make advances for a
cancer-free future in a facility that bears his family name. “It’s very satisfying to see how it all came
together,” he says.
Howard became involved with the Alberta Cancer Foundation when his first wife, Bonnie, died of
breast cancer 15 years ago. After her death, Daryl, who spent most of his career in the investment
end of CIBC World Markets, set up a private foundation in her name and had been looking for
something a “bit more significant” to do. He was invited to participate on an Alberta Cancer
Foundation advisory board and when he was later told about this opportunity, he learned as much
as he could about the research and infrastructure to be housed there before signing on.
“He was an investment banker so he doesn’t see this just as a donation—it’s an investment and he
wants to see it earn a return in the form of helping people with cancer.”
The Howard Cancer Research Centre has allowed scientists once scattered in different areas
to come together, making it easy for trainees to cross a hall to ask a question. “It’s like a virtual
watercooler, where you can get instant answers,” says Dr. Forsyth, adding the space has allowed
them to recruit four people with room for three more. “It’s about building a machine where you
can get ideas into the clinic to test them to see if they are going to be successful. It’s important to
know quickly if they are going to be useful in a person—if they’re not, you move on.
“Without this, we wouldn’t be able to accelerate discovery the way we are going to be.”
Daryl is just happy he and Diane were in a position to help. “This has allowed us to recruit some
really significant people that might not have been able to come before,” he says. “It helps to have
this space to attract world-calibre scientists who expect world-class equipment and lab space. It’s
very good to see it all unfold.”
33
albertacancer.ca
The timing couldn’t have been better, says Dr. Peter Forsyth, then director of the Southern Alberta
Cancer Research Institute. “It was a huge opportunity for us and we are very grateful,” says Dr.
Forsyth. “It all took place at a time when there was competition for this space and there was never a
guarantee that we would be able to occupy it if we hadn’t come up with the funds. Mr. Howard was
at the right place and the right time for us.
Howard and his wife, Diane, donated funds to help create the Howard Cancer Research Centre,
home to the labs of four major research chairs in brain tumour research, DNA damage and repair,
molecular cancer epidemiology and pediatric oncology.
University project grows
into a movement
In quiet moments, Irfaan Sorathia struggles with the fact that his late mother could not be helped
by the almost half million dollars he helped raise in the name of cancer. But he’s come to realize
that he changed because of the difference he witnessed in other people’s lives after they contributed
to the Providing a Voice/Head Shave Canada fund raiser, which he initiated in 2003.
“Maybe at first it was the memory of my mother that was behind the idea, but it was not just for
her. None of the money could help her any more but I was doing it for everyone else, so that no one
else would go through it,” he said, adding that he hoped funds would go towards cancer prevention.
34
Irfaan saw how other people were impacted by shaving their heads or by volunteering for the event,
which began as a University of Calgary Commerce undergraduate project and eventually was taken
on by students at colleges throughout the province.
He is quick to add that although he initiated the event, key volunteers at the different schools ran
with the idea. So much so, that over six years, almost 1000 participants raised more than $400,000
for the Alberta Cancer Foundation. “People were so eager to help out and aside from the people
I knew about, there were so many behind-the-scenes volunteers that became involved,” he says,
noting that one volunteer, Aaron Kroontje, was part of the event every year.
Irfaan came to see each head-shave has a communal symbol of support for those with cancer.
albertacancer.ca
“That’s what makes these six years worthwhile – the impact on others. What kept me going was the
support it gave to people with cancer but also the reaction I saw from the other volunteers. Those
volunteers made a difference and for all their dedication, their sacrifice and their contributions,
I am so grateful,” says Irfaan. “Without them, none of this would have been possible.”

Silent waiter gets laughs for cancer
If John de Munnik knew one thing, it was that his cancer fundraiser, held last October in Sherwood
Park’s Smilie’s Village Lounge would be fun.
Even before the week-long event at John’s regular hangout, he’d made subtle menu changes,
advertising such things as “Lice with pretty close greens,” and for an appetizer “Drunk as a Skunk
Pickled Herrings.” By the time his fundraising menu was printed, the puns were stacked as high as
a crumby humble pie.
John, 66, and a retired engineering technician who now writes a column for the Lac La Biche Post,
came up with the idea of his fundraiser by accident.
36
He is straightforward about the smoking that led to his throat cancer four years ago. Shortly after
his 62nd birthday in 2005, he began having trouble speaking. At first, he thought he was suffering
from laryngitis. Being a smoker of 50 years, his doctors suspected otherwise and after a lengthy
questionnaire and biopsy, John was diagnosed with cancer in his throat. The tumor grew quickly
and began to put pressure on his trachea, interfering with his breathing. On May 5, 2005, he
needed emergency surgery to create an alternate breathing route. After an eight-hour tracheotomy,
John could no longer breathe through his nose or mouth but used a small hole, called a stoma, in
his neck instead. “I can’t blow out a candle but at least I can breathe” he explains.
albertacancer.ca
Now, whenever he speaks, he must hold his thumb or finger over his stoma. His gravelly voice
sometimes sounds strained and the round red scar in his throat makes it obvious that speaking is
never easy for this man.
Going to Smilie’s, a Sherwood Park restaurant and lounge, became a therapeutic way of forcing
himself back among the public. “My cancer trip, which I would not wish on anybody, was a
rollercoaster of emotions,” he says. “The journey was wracked with pain, fright, endurance,
patience, courage, stamina, information, loneliness and of course, love.
“While recovering, the good people and patrons of Smilie’s Lounge made the transition a lot easier.
At the top of the list was the owner, Paul Jew. I could barely eat and he made it possible for me to
nibble away at the buffet table and adjusted the price accordingly.”
One day, John offered a helping hand to a Smilie’s server. He delivered a set of condiments to
customers who mistook him for their waiter and when his explanation fell silent, the idea was
born. John became The Silent Waiter. He served every entrée with a joke and raised more than
$12,000 for the Alberta Cancer Foundation. Dressed in an oversized checkered hat and bowtie,
John served dishes as well as such handwritten one-liners as “your dazzling beauty is fogging up
my glasses” to his audience.
John does his best to make people comfortable with his obvious discomfort and always, always, to
get them to laugh with him at life.
“The ‘Silent’ is funny because I couldn’t shut up. One guy promised me a donation if I didn’t talk
for 20 minutes and boy was that hard, says John. “It just made me feels so darned good to know
people weren’t feeling sorry for me. My sense of humour got me through cancer. People got
wrapped up in my enthusiasm and all together, I feel honoured,” he said.

Blessings in the darkness
Every Monday morning Susan Carr speaks at the Cross Cancer Institute’s New Patient Orientation
meeting to tell people, that for her at least, cancer was not all bad.
“Yes, cancer changes one’s life in an instant. Fortunately, there are blessings in the darkness,” she
tells the patients as she explains to those scared, frightened people, that in fact she found peace
because of her cancer. Indeed, she made life-changes that have led to renewed family relationships
and better health.
Susan, a single mother with three adult daughters, was a self-described “workaholic” provincial
government employee when she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in December 2005.
40
Pancreatic cancer is one of the hardest diseases to cure, but Susan left the worrying and grim
statistics to her daughters, while she searched for positive, healing messages. She took early
retirement because she wanted to focus on her spiritual, emotional and physical well-being. In her
speech to new patients, Susan talks about the six months of chemotherapy treatments she received
and how she decided to view those treatments as a life-saving miracle, which it was.
“I actually looked forward to the treatments. I viewed the chemo as a healing agent travelling
through my body, killing off the cancer cells and leaving me healed.” Almost as soon as she was
diagnosed, Susan began a new daily regimen. She took up Tai Chi. She went for massages.
albertacancer.ca
“I’m still doing all these things and feeling wonderfully well,” she says. Susan became closer to her
children. With her daughters, she spent Christmas with her ex-husband, even though they had not
been together as a family for 17 years. “Cancer can provide an opportunity for family and friends
to demonstrate their love and support – support that otherwise might not surface.”
Her once-a-week volunteer speaking assignment at the Cross is just one way of giving back.
“I don’t have millions to donate. But the Cross is a wonderful place. I wanted to help and saw
the opportunity to speak to others about my journey as a challenge,” she says. She also sits on
the Cross Cancer Institute’s Volunteer Board.
When she was first diagnosed with cancer, she made changes to her will and named the Alberta
Cancer Foundation as one of her beneficiaries.
“I just feel so lucky to have survived and the Cross is such an amazing, caring health facility from
the first person you meet at the desk right on up to your oncologist. If my giving back helps others,
then this is something I can do that is worthwhile. And donating a percentage of my estate will not
take too much from my kids because there will be a tax deduction,” she says.
Now a cancer survivor, she tells those new patients that she hopes they too will find blessings in the
darkness of cancer. “Before my diagnosis, I took life for granted. Now I give thanks for the gift of
every single day,” she says.

Ismaili community rallies
to fight cancer
For 20 years they have hosted the Canada Day Pancake Breakfast (feeding thousands of people in
three hours), served the tea for new Canadians at the citizenship ceremony, built homes for Habitat
for Humanity and collected food and money for the food bank, to name a few. And four years ago,
the Ismaili Volunteer Corps added raising money for the Alberta Cancer Foundation to its list.
“We had been looking for a project that was out in the community that fit with our ethics and
values,” says Jan Musani, volunteer with the Ismaili Community. “Cancer affects everyone. We all
know someone who has been affected by it so it was a natural fit for us.”
More than 25 members of the IVC—there are about 800 in total—run the silent auction portion of
the Cross Cancer Institute Golf Classic, the Alberta Cancer Foundation’s flagship fundraiser. The
group, which has existed for more than 100 years, solicits and collects items for the auction and
oversees the organization of the silent auction event.
42
So far, the IVC, has helped raised a total of $70,000 for the Alberta Cancer Foundation.
“The opportunity to partner with the Alberta Cancer Foundation for such a worthwhile cause each
year shows volunteers can really make a difference in community events,” says Jan. “Volunteers are
the driving success behind an organization’s ability to host events such as the Golf Classic.”

Numbers that fuel a vision
albertacancer.ca
Can it be cured?
How can we make sure other people we love don’t get this?
How do we keep it from coming back?
There must be something I can do.
If these lines sound familiar, then you, like me, probably know and love someone who has
had cancer.
44
Both my daughter and sister faced cancer. My daughter, now the mother of three beautiful
children, is alive today thanks to research conducted years before she was born.
Sadly, after reaching the boundary of current medical knowledge, we lost my sister to the disease.
My family is just one of nearly 16,000 touched by cancer in Alberta every year. We join so many
who are thankful for the blessing of survival. And we are just one family of more than 6,000 who
meet this same sorrow every year when cancer takes a loved one away.
albertacancer.ca
It is a privilege for me to lead the Alberta Cancer Foundation as we celebrate 25 years of helping to
find answers through research into better treatment, better prevention, screening and diagnosis. It
is also a privilege to be a part of providing direct patient support to ease the cancer journey and to
offer accelerated access to leading-edge technology.
We are progressing. Since the Alberta Cancer Foundation was established in 1984, the cancer
mortality rate in our province has dropped 10.6 per cent. This means 630 Albertans each year
are now surviving cancers that would have killed them had they been diagnosed 25 years ago.
But we can’t stop here. While we celebrate many milestones in the fight against cancer, we owe it
to those we love to continue our work until we can prevent or cure all cancers.
The Alberta Cancer Foundation is made up of more than 180,000 donors who are showing that
something can be done about cancer. In fact, together, we are working to make a cancer-free future
possible, in our lifetime.
Linda Mickelson, CEO
Alberta Cancer Foundation
Focus on a cancer-free future.
Our relentless focus is the vision of a cancer-free future. We have forged partnerships with cancer
experts in Alberta and worldwide on our international advisory panels to determine where donor
dollars in Alberta should be invested, to get us to that future in the shortest period of time.
Our intent is to realize our vision in our lifetime. In short, our strategic plan for the next 25 years is
to do ourselves out of a job.
This report to donors shows you just some of the faces of cancer. To show all the faces of cancer
in the province, would require more than 45,000 photos and that would not include all the people
who love those with cancer and are impacted profoundly by this disease.
On behalf of the Alberta Cancer Foundation, I thank you for 25 years of support. We are privileged
to work on your behalf. I invite you to continue the journey with us, to continue support until we
can truly celebrate a world without cancer.
Sandy Slater, Chair

From each of these “faces of cancer” we extend a heartfelt thank you. Your donations have
transformed their care. And your donations have ensured that a cancer-free future is not just
possible, but inevitable.
While we mark 25 years of achievement for the Alberta Cancer Foundation, we its Board of
Trustees, have our eyes on the next 25 years.
