The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) in the UK released a report in November 2013 stating that greater focus and resources are needed to tackle pancreatic cancer.

On July 31st 2013 Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon, Chancellor of the Order, appointed  Dr. Charles Scudamore and 12 other British Columbians to the Order of British Columbia.

On July 9 2013, VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation celebrated the dedication of the Jack and Darlene Poole Surgical Centre for Pancreatic Cancer. The Jack & Darlene Poole Foundation donated $3 million to help tackle this major and most under-funded of our health care challenges. This significant gift is helping to establish Pancreas Centre BC at VGH, in partnership with the BC Cancer Agency and the University of British Columbia. The Centre will work to improve early detection and treatment, increase survival rates and provide realistic hope for both patients and their families.

We look forward to hosting the Cypress Challenge every year. We welcome riders of all abilities from across the Lower Mainland to challenge themselves to reach their personal best, while helping defeat a particularly dangerous form of cancer.

Are you ready to join us to ride up Cypress Mountain? Is this your first hill climb? Or will you help by pushing yourself to a personal best on the climb? The choice is yours. All you need is the determination to pedal to the top for the Cypress Mountain Challenge.
