>From September 6th to 8th, we hosted the 20/20 and Beyond Support Group Conference covering topics from the latest research and exercise, to incontinence, sexual health, and how to get new members out to support groups. It was a huge success and it was wonderful to see people from across Canada, Washington State, and even Ireland in attendance. A big thank you to everyone who attended and volunteered.

At the Support Group Conference, Ted Butterfield was posthumously awarded the Prostate Cancer BC Lifetime Achievement Award. His wife of 55 years, Fay, and children, Leigh, Cheryl, and David, attended the banquet to receive this award on his behalf. Ted served as the Chair of PCFBC, the leader of the North Vancouver Support Group, and was also the past chair of the BC Support Group Council. He was a very important part of our Foundation and he will be truly missed.

This year we were fortunate to have the opportunity to award a total of $120,000 amongst five recipients, Dr. Shreyas Lingadahalli, Dr. Alexander Smith, Jane Foo, Victor Barrios, and Dr. John Oliffe, to support them in their prostate cancer research efforts. We look forward to seeing their results!

We had a great turn out for our 10th Anniversary Westcoast Motorcycle Ride to Live, held on May 26th, with hundreds of riders participating. In 2019, we launched our new Rode and Raised program and we even closed down the highway for our riders! 

We are now in the planning stages of our 2020 Ride and we're actively looking for motivated people to join our committee to help brainstorm ideas and come together to put on another successful event! Please contact  <mailto:amanda at prostatecancerbc.ca> Amanda if you're interested in being part of the team.
