The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
I
think
almost
2
000
of
those
will
die
more
than
75
percent
of
affected.
Women
are
diagnosed
at
an
advanced
stage
because
early
stage
disease
is
usually
asymptomatic
and
symptoms
of
late
stage.
Disease
are
non-specific
recently.
My
friend
and
fellow
North
Shore
resident
Pamela
Martin,
told
me
about
an
initiative
to
help
support
the
research
required
to
find
a
cure
for
ovarian
cancer,
and
this
idea
came
from
Jim
Shepard,
well-known
community
and
business
leader.
Events
like
this
are
often
born
out
of
a
personal
connection
and
Jim's
daughter-in-law
was
diagnosed
with
stage.
Three
ovarian
cancer
in
2018.
A
Jim
followed
her
journey
as
she
went
through
life-saving
treatment
at
the
ovarian
cancer
center
and
BC
cancer
agency,
and
because
of
her
excellent
care
combined
with
a
new
drug
that
destroys
the
protein
that
this
cancer
needs
to
survive.
His
daughter-in-law's
outcome
is
positive.
Through
her
cancer
Journey
Jim
witnessed
firsthand
the
work
of
The
Talented
researchers
here
in
BC
and
while
they're
leading
the
world
and
pioneering
treatments
and
breakthrough
discoveries
they're
doing
so
on
a
razor
thin
budget.
So
Jim
decided
to
raise
funds
for
research
and
founded
the
plunge
for
the
Cure
foundation.
A
In
fact,
the
average
temperature
in
May
is
a
balmy
17
degrees,
so
sign
up
online
for
the
plunge
for
the
Cure
at
plungeforthecare.org
and
together
we
really
can
Crush
ovarian
cancer,
I
hope,
you'll,
consider
joining
Jim,
Shepard,
Pamela
Martin,
many
others
and
me
in
plunging
for
a
great
cause.
Thank
you.
