Date: Saturday 5th December 2015

Registration for the 8th Annual Glotman Simpson Cypress Challenge bike race is now open.

The event will take place on Sunday 16th August 2015.  100% of all the money raised goes to the BC Cancer Foundation's Pancreas Centre BC.  In 2014 about 625 cyclists took part, helping to raise over $415,000 for pancreatic cancer research! 

The Pancreas Centre BC is pleased to announce the winners of the recent 2014 IDEAS Grants program competition. This research funding program was made possible by the generous donations from private donors. The centre has received 11 applications and the research advisory committee recommended four proposals for funding. Pancreas Centre BC anticipates that the funds invested into the projects will accelerate leading edge research aimed at understanding and treating pancreatic cancer.

Congratulations to the 2014 IDEAS grant recipients:
