Together for a Cancer Free Future

The first part of the team is our donors. Alberta Cancer Foundation donors make personal contributions, plan legacy gifts, purchase lottery tickets, sponsor participants in our walks and put their own ingenuity to work as volunteers, planning and executing more than 300 fundraising events each year. Their support is a tribute to the thousands of Albertans diagnosed with cancer this year. It’s a message of hope for the nearly 16,000 expected to be diagnosed next year. And their gifts honour the memory of more than 5,000 Albertans who lose their battle with cancer each year. The numbers are big, but the stories are personal. Each of these individuals is a beloved mother, father, son, daughter, friend or colleague. The second part of the team behind each of these personal cancer journeys is the researchers, doctors, nurses and other health professionals committed to giving Albertans their best chance of preventing cancer, surviving it and thriving. The boost donor contributions give to their work accelerates progress to our common goal. On every front, we are making progress in building a cancer-free future. But progress can’t happen fast enough. We thank our donors for their extraordinary efforts in helping Alberta build momentum in the fight against cancer and for helping making the cancer journey easier for so many who fight it today.

On every front, we are

making progress in building a cancer-free future.

t sounds like a lot of machine power, but the goal is a lofty one: to identify new drug compounds that may result in more efficient chemotherapy treatment for different types of cancer. “It will be a rather sophisticated technology involving various software processes–we will screen millions of chemical entities and be able to eliminate compounds that aren’t good fits for treatment,” says Tuszynski. “When we start taking out the compounds that don’t work, we hope we will be left with 0.1 per cent that hold promise.” The new drug compounds will be identified as the program recognizes them. “We’ll start with the most likely candidates and then move towards the more exotic compounds,” says Tuszynski. “Once we have some results that we are confident will work, they can be tested right here at the Cross Cancer Institute. “We had no hope of ever being able to accomplish this goal without these high performance computers and the state-of-the-art algorithms.” This modern facility wouldn’t be possible without the generous support from the Allard Foundation, which has had a long relationship with the Alberta Cancer Board and Foundation. Thanks to their leadership gift of $2 million, the Alberta Cancer Foundation was able to establish a $3 million Chair in experimental oncology and Tuszynski was recruited for the position.

An additional gift this year of $1 million will help provide the hardware, infrastructure and manpower to propel the laboratory and help position Edmonton’s Cross Cancer Institute as a location for world-class cancer therapy research. “Dr. Tuszynski’s work is leading edge,” says Robert Manning, from the Allard Foundation. “It represents a focused approach to computational drug design, in silico (by computer simulation) and in vitro (in test tube or culture dish) testing of novel chemotherapy entities, with the goal of optimizing and personalizing chemotherapy agents for a particular patient.” The Allard Foundation is excited that research done in Edmonton could identify new drug compounds with potentially reduced side effects aimed at increasing survival rates and the quality of life for patients. “We also hope to see the testing of these compounds resulting in clinical trials in Alberta, leading to successful clinical applications for cancer patients,” says Cathy Roozen, from the Allard Foundation. “Focused research allied with solid commercial input will help develop a drug discovery pipeline and an intellectual property portfolio that can help position the Cross and the Alberta Cancer Board as long-term, world-class players in the areas of cancer chemotherapy research and treatment.” Tuszynski hopes to have the first phase, with 1,000 processors, running by the end of the calendar year.

wo weeks earlier, her 34-year-old son Brent died from colon cancer, two years after he was diagnosed. As emotional as it was–Jackie had also lost her father within that two-week span–she wanted to see it through. She did more than that. Clark, with help from her husband Raymond, collected more than

$8,000 and was the top fundraiser at the close of the first event of its kind in Alberta. “I told Brent all along how much money we had raised and it helped me get through such a hard time and gave me something to work at and focus on,” says Clark. “Raymond came to the course and supported me throughout, but I ended up walking by myself– I needed to be on my own.” Clark has always volunteered as a canvasser for cancer research–

she lost her mother and a number of other close relatives to the disease–but it hit even closer to

home in early 2007 when she saw a brochure for the Underwear Affair, which supports the battle against cancers below the waist. Brent had almost realized his lifelong dream when he received his devastating news. A week before he was to graduate from the Calgary City Police, he was diagnosed with cancer. “He wasn’t feeling

well at training and brushed it off–he wasn’t one to complain, even as a child,” says Clark. A classmate convinced him to go to the hospital, which he did that Friday evening. He was admitted and tested and doctors confirmed on Monday after a colonoscopy that he had a tennis ball sized tumour in his colon. Despite being incredibly weak, Brent was determined to get through his graduation ceremony. He was released from hospital so he could complete the final week and rehearse the ceremony. The police academy set aside a chair in case he couldn’t finish, but he marched until the end. He returned to hospital following his graduation for surgery; six weeks later he started chemo and took a back office job with the police. “He couldn’t even wear his uniform because he was so sore,” says Clark. He eventually moved up to a front office job and went onto the streets in October 2006, where he spent a year to the day, until he found out the cancer was back. “He even managed to go in during his off chemo weeks,” says Jackie. “He was an inspiration to everyone.” But with a tumour on a major artery, Brent grew weaker as he was going through aggressive chemo. One evening when his wife, Laura, tried to take him to an appointment, he collapsed near the front door. She convinced him to go hospital but with one condition, he said. No sirens or lights. He didn’t want the attention. “I just thought he would go in and they would hydrate him, get his meds sorted out and he’d come home,” says Jackie. “That was a Tuesday he went in. My daughter-in-law was called on Thursday morning, saying he probably wouldn’t make it through the weekend, and he didn’t.” Clark takes some solace knowing her fundraising efforts will help raise awareness about Brent’s disease and other cancers below the waist, such as colorectal, ovarian, cervical and prostate. She and other Albertans raised a total of $1.24 million for the cause in 2007. Clark often sits at her desk, looking at the shelf filled with memories of Brent and his two daughters: a framed picture of Brent in uniform; a special rock his eldest daughter, Samantha, found; coloured curly ribbon he and the girls played with, and her Top Fundraiser plaque from the Underwear Affair. They will all be given to the girls one day for keepsakes. “Hopefully the Underwear Affair event will help us get the message out to people that colon cancer and other cancers below the belt can affect young, healthy and active people,” says Clark.

* The Underwear Affair is a fun-filled 5K walk or 10K run where participants dress in their skivvies–or the most outrageous underwear they can find–to raise funds and build awareness for cancers below the waist.

ost would agree Glans was dealt a bad break when he was diagnosed with lung cancer a few years ago. Many connect the disease with smoking, but Glans hadn’t puffed a cigarette in 30 years. He knows the odds are stacked against him now, but you wouldn’t know it from talking to him–or seeing what he is able to do. Last year, the retired Calgary businessman organized a charity golf tournament and donated $85,000 in proceeds to the Alberta Cancer Foundation. He’s doing it again this year with a goal of raising $125,000. Glans designates all the money he raises to help fund the lung cancer tissue bank recently created at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre in Calgary. “We’re building a tissue micro-array and database of the tumors that we collect from patients in biopsies and surgeries,” says Dr. Don Morris, a lung cancer physician and head of the Lung Research Group at the Tom Baker. Researchers and clinicians use the tissue bank to analyze the molecular markers found in existing tumor samples and then cross-reference them with patient samples in order to customize treatment programs. “It’s a matter of determining the right treatment for the right patient at the right time,” Morris says. The tissue bank is funded entirely through donations. “What we need to run the lung cancer tissue bank is a small fragment of what is being funded for other tumor sites,” Morris says.

“Historically, lung cancer research has been under-funded compared to other types of cancer, even though it is the most common cause of cancer death in Alberta,” Morris adds. “Unfortunately, lung cancer patients don’t live long enough to form huge advocacy groups, like the patients of other forms of cancer.” Paul Clark and his family are among those who are supporting Morris’ efforts. “We believe in what Don is doing. He is clearly one of the very brightest people around in this area, and if we don’t help him to develop solutions, then he’ll find other places to do his work, and Alberta will be poorer because of it,” says Clark, the primary vice-president, communications, for CP Rail. “I think lung cancer research is funded less than some other forms of cancer because it is often presented as being the result of people’s smoking habits–a negative lifestyle choice they have made –but that’s not always the case,” adds Clark, whose life has been personally touched by lung cancer. About 15 to 20 per cent of people who contract lung cancer have never smoked or been exposed consistently to second-hand smoke or asbestos. “We really do need to do a lot of work to investigate prevention, screening and treatment of this disease, which is a huge health burden to Albertans. We’re making inroads, but we need a much bigger push,” Morris says. “Any support for cancer research is great and needed, but I’d like to close the gap in funding between lung cancer and some of the other cancers,” Glans says. “A golf tournament is a start, but the needs for lung cancer research are far greater than what we can solve with a golf tournament. It’s a step in the right direction, though, and you have to start somewhere,” he adds, with a laugh. Lung cancer is one of the top four cancers in Alberta and the number one cancer killer. The Alberta Cancer Foundation recognizes this and will be focusing fundraising efforts to support four provincial research initiatives aimed at reducing cancer incidence and mortality by targeting these four major cancers: colorectal, lung, breast and prostate.

Non-smoker tackles lung cancer head onJon Glans’ laugh comes easily. “I haven’t golfed this year, but I’m on a holiday from chemo

now, so maybe I’ll build up and have some energy to expend. You never know,” he says, with

his customary chuckle.

llis and her husband, Graham, lived in Calgary throughout the ’70s and most of the ’80s, while she worked as a public health nutritionist, and he commuted to work at a farm not far from the city. In 1986, after years of hard work and saving, they bought 960 acres near Olds, where they grew wheat, barley and canola. The land was fertile, the landscape was beautiful and life was good. Then cancer struck. Graham contracted non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and he died in 1991 after a painful battle. Widowed at 48, Ellis wanted to keep the farm so she could give her two sons, 16 and 13 at the time, the opportunity to take it over one day. “If I had sold out, they wouldn’t have had the choice,” she says. “I insisted they go to university to get an education, but I also wanted to give them

the opportunity to run the farm, if that’s what they wanted.” Low on options herself, Ellis took over day-to-day operations of the farm. She rented out some of the land, and brought on a

hired hand to help her and her boys with the rest. “It was a steep learning curve. The hardest part was probably getting my class 3 license so I could drive the grain truck to the elevator in town,” she says. She also learned how to drive a combine and a tractor and operate and maintain the farm’s water system.

“I’ve probably become a little handier than most women,” she says. “But I was lucky. We had helpful neighbours, and the boys were good workers.” After university, both of her sons decided to return to farming. The eldest runs the family home-stead, and his younger brother tills land that he bought a few kilometers away. Retired now, Catherine lives in Olds and helps her sons with their accounting books. She has five grandchildren, all boys. “Lots of potential for more farmers,” she says. It was in the spirit of building a legacy that Ellis decided to transform her life insurance policy into three separate ones and donate one of them to the Alberta Cancer Foundation. “My life has been touched quite a bit by cancer. My dad died of it at 56 and my husband at 52, and it has taken numerous other relatives and friends, and I just think it would be great to have treatments that work and aren’t so debilitating,” she says. Brian Shea, chief development officer with the Foundation, explained that donations usually come in the form of money, stocks or gifts-in-kind, such as real estate. People also make deferred donations through their wills but gifts of life insurance are still relatively rare. “We’ll get maybe two a year,” he says, adding that the gift is a thoughtful way to make a deferred contribution. “In most cases, the policy holder makes the tax deductible premium payments on the policy until he or she passes away, and then the insurance company pays the benefits to the charity,” Shea explains. “We’re very grateful for Catherine’s gift,” he adds. “It always amazes me how generous people can be. It’s nice to know that people see the value in the work we do and recognize the future impact their gift will have.” “Cancer causes a lot of suffering to the individual, as well as to their family, so anything one might be able to do to help with that is great,” Ellis says. “It’s only through research that we’ll learn more about it and be able to improve things for the next generation.”

hen Sean Bayus was a patient at the University of Alberta Hospital being treated for a brain tumour, his mother, Karen, would get him into a wheelchair, put him in her vehicle, take him to the Cross Cancer Institute and into his weekly Arts in Medicine class.He would explore a number of different media from soapstone carving to sculpture or whatever he was inclined to do that week. When the class was over, Karen would do the laborious process in reverse. “It wasn’t that easy to do, but it was so worth it,” says Karen. “Just the action of sanding down soapstone was therapeutic for him.” Sean died in May 2007 at the age of 23. During the family’s cancer journey, one program that left an imprint on Karen and her husband, Steven, was the Arts in Medicine program run out of the Department of Psychosocial and Spiritual Resources at the Cross Cancer Institute. Offering workshops in quilting, journaling, sculpting, photography and other art media, the idea is to promote healing through creative expression for patients, family members, oncology staff and caregivers. Steven, for instance, carved a soapstone bear, while Karen attended a writing and painting class. Because of the stage

of Sean’s brain tumour, it was hard to know exactly what he was thinking, says Karen, but he managed to express himself through sculptures and figurines he started but wasn’t able to finish. “I felt that this was such a fantastic outlet. When you spend so much time with doctors and in the hospital, this added that emotional and spiritual piece that we needed at the time,” says Karen. So after Sean’s passing, the St. Albert couple decided to donate money collected from memorial donations to the Alberta Cancer Foundation for ongoing support of the program. Steven and Karen, both educators, continue to make monthly donations. Funds from the Bayus family helped start harp workshops at the Cross Cancer Institute that are now filled to capacity. “This is such a positive thing when everything else you’re dealing with can be so negative,” says Karen. “When you can go and express yourself and your emotions creatively, it makes a difference. “In my class, I was the only one there without cancer. Everyone expressed how lonely life had become during treatment, perhaps because people don’t know how to deal with it. These classes not only allow you a break from what you are dealing with but a whole new way to express how you feel.” The Arts in Medicine program offers more than 30 classes a year that are filled by more than 500 participants.

ach summer, committed participants in both Calgary and Edmonton tackle a 60K trek to raise money for breast cancer research and province-wide breast screening initiatives. In just three years, the event has enabled the Alberta Cancer Foundation to invest a staggering $17 million. Although more than 1,950 Albertans will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, the disease’s

death rates in Alberta are lower than the Canadian average. This could be, in part, due to the Alberta Cancer Board’s improvements in early detection and more effective treatment. Regular screening is one of the best ways to catch breast cancer at an early stage when it

is most treatable. A mobile van with state-of-the-art mammography equipment, purchased with funds from the Weekend to End Breast Cancer, is already offering greater accessibility to breast screening for women in more than 100 rural communities. Over the next few years, new digital technology and public awareness campaigns will be put into place to further enhance the province-wide breast screening program.

The funds also support 30 breast cancer research projects that might otherwise have gone unfunded. Take Dr. Nigel Brockton, a researcher with the Tom Baker Cancer Center in Calgary. He studies breast cancer metastasis to the bone and believes that up to 40 per cent of women with breast cancer already have cells from their breast tumours in their bone marrow. Only a small number of those patients actually develop tumours (metastases) in the bone and Brockton believes this could be related to a number of factors, including vitamin D status and inflammatory factors that encourage the cancer to progress. Dr. Bassam Abdulkarim is studying how a new technology called tomotherapy can make radiation therapy a safer and more effective treatment option for the next generation of cancer patients. Edmonton’s Cross Cancer Institute is one of only two centres in Canada to use a prototype tomotherapy machine, and Abdulkarim, co-leader of the Edmonton study, is testing the effectiveness of this technology on patients following a lumpectomy. His research team is hoping to see a significant reduction in the incidence of skin fibrosis, a common side effect of radiation in which the breast tissue becomes tender, more fibrous and less stretchy. These projects are a sampling of how Alberta scientists are pushing the research envelope thanks to the outstanding participants and supporters of the Weekend to End Breast Cancer. “Funds raised in 2006 and 2007 established a $5 million Endowed Weekend to End Breast Cancer Research Chair that will play a pivotal role in advancing our understanding and treatment of the disease,” says Dr. John Mackey, co-chair of research for the Northern Alberta Breast Cancer Program. “We are conducting an international search for a world-class breast cancer researcher to help lead the Alberta breast cancer research community to increase our chances of making a significant advance in outcomes for people with breast cancer.” All those footsteps are making a difference.

o it is fitting that Fred combined the game he loves with his commitment to raising money for cancer research in the annual Tom Baker Cancer Center (TBCC) Golf Classic. For years, he chaired the annual TBCC Golf Classic and worked as a dedicated community volunteer, passionate about improving the care and quality of life for cancer patients and their families. When Fred was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 1997, his son, Warren, and a friend

shaved their heads to raise money for cancer research. Warren’s company then stepped up as lead sponsor for the TBCC Golf Classic and Fred was named co-chair of the tournament in 1998 (he also co-chaired with John Stein). He played a key role in making

the event one of the Alberta Cancer Foundation’s flagship fundraisers and remained actively involved until his death from cancer on May 1, 2008. “Cancer research was near and dear to our hearts for obvious reasons but we had the opportunity to meet the Heaver family, who originally started this event,” says Warren. “And Dad lived at Heritage Pointe, which was Heaver land, so there was

a really neat tie in and everything fit in well into our family bailiwick.” Warren, who has also been on the TBCC Golf Classic committee off and on for a decade, had mixed emotions about the September 2008 sold-out event, which was dedicated to his father. The 2008 tournament was renamed the Fred C. Coles Memorial Golf Classic in support of the Tom Baker Cancer Center. A research fellowship is also being established in Fred’s name. Born in Calgary in 1944, Fred made the city his home for most of his life. He left to study petroleum engineering at the University of Wyoming and to Rainbow Lake where he ran the local gas plant. In 1972 Fred returned to Calgary and was always pleased to help raise funds for his city’s Tom Baker Cancer Center. This year’s tournament marks the 17th annual event with a proud history of having raised more than $3 million for research and patient programs in Southern Alberta. “I wish I could say this year’s event didn’t have to take on that special meaning because my dad is not here, but it does,” says Warren. “We just want to make sure the tournament itself doesn’t change its focus or what it tries to do. Dad would have wanted things to carry on the way he planned.”

Special meaning to this year’s golf classic

When Fred Coles moved to the Heritage Pointe golf

community in Calgary, he had three memberships

at different courses and would average 100 rounds a year.

hat’s how the Edmonton Civic Employees Charitable Assistance Fund works. Every two weeks, a combination of nine unions and associations contribute to a fund that is then allocated to different charities each year. For two years, the Alberta Cancer Foundation has been a recipient, specifically the IGAR (image-guided adaptive radiotherapy) program led by Dr. Gino Fallone, director of medical physics at the Cross Cancer Institute.

“A little bit of funds can really start adding up,” says Brenda Waluk, president of the fund. “And what was really exciting to us is that this technology, which improves the way cancer patients are treated, is right here in Edmonton, in our own back yard.” IGAR uses a combination of CT scanning, MRI, and PET imaging to determine the extent of a patient’s cancer as accurately as possible. Radiation therapy is then designed specifically for that patient, using the helical tomotherapy unit to deliver a “sculpted” dose of radiation.

This means that the tumour receives the maximum exposure to radiation, but the healthy tissue is spared –even healthy tissue located very close to the tumour. From the clinical perspective, advanced IGAR technology allows medical professionals to target all of the cancer cells with therapeutic radiation on

every single day of the patient’s treatment course, says Dr. Matthew Parliament, a radiation oncologist who is the director of the Division of Radiation Oncology at the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton and the University of Alberta. “Damage to healthy normal tissues is minimized using IGAR,” says Parliament. “From the perspective of a cancer patient who needs to undergo radiation, that means having the best chance of a cancer-free future, retaining the best possible health-related quality of life during and after treatment. Once cancer treatment is over, patients are increasingly returning to a brighter and happier future with their families, loved ones, friends and workplace colleagues.” So when John Loewen was diagnosed with prostate cancer, Parliament suggested he undergo radiation therapy using the IGAR technique. “Dr. Parliament said he felt we should proceed with the IGAR treatment, and I agreed,” says Loewen. “I said, ‘You’re the expert, and if you feel that is what we should do, then we’ll do it.’ That is when I immediately began seven weeks of radiation treatment using IGAR.” It would have been difficult to treat Loewen’s prostate cancer with conventional radiation therapy, because tumours of the prostate often move during the treatment session. However, with the use of IGAR, the correct dose of radiation could be delivered directly to the tumour. Today, Loewen is cancer-free. His good outcome can be attributed to the use of IGAR for his treatment and to the care he received at the Cross Cancer Institute. “I really appreciate how well they treated me at the Cross,” says Loewen. “My care was excellent. I was so impressed.” That’s what Waluk likes to hear. “Going through cancer treatment is so hard, so anything our fund can do to make it better is a good thing.” Parliament also benefited from the generous support of motorcycle-riding Edmontonians. Organizers of the 2007 Motorcycle Ride for Dad, which raises money for prostate cancer research and awareness, presented more than $57,000 to the Alberta Cancer Foundation to help fund a three-year grant awarded to Parliament and his team at the Cross Cancer Institute. He is studying the contribution of each patient’s own genetic makeup to the development of post-radiation complications, ultimately moving toward the develop-ment of predictive tests to avoid radiation injury. Parliament and his team will examine gene markers and blood proteins in approximately 300 prostate cancer survivors who have received three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D CRT) at the Cross Cancer Institute and Tom Baker Cancer Centre.

Coping with the cost of cancer

A self-employed couple in their 50s faces a disconnection notice for utilities they can’t afford. An at-risk patient whose phone is on the verge of disconnection needs the contact to reach his medical team or EMS. An out-of-town patient forced to travel for radiation therapy has trouble paying for meals and accommodation. These situations are real and have received support from the Alberta Cancer Foundation’s Patient Financial Assistance Program. Patients and families often say that coping with a cancer diagnosis is easier than dealing with the stress of financial concerns resulting from their illness. The Patient Financial Assistance Program provides temporary short-term assistance so families may focus on their recovery, instead of how to pay transportation costs or find extra funds for the anti-nausea drugs needed after treatment. Gibson Energy became a corporate donor to the Alberta Cancer Foundation to help people face these additional burdens. The private, Alberta-based company, which develops implements and supports midstream solutions for the oil and gas industry, has made a five-year commitment to the program. Gibson’s President and CEO Terry Gomke says it is important his company stays committed to provincial programs in need. “As contributing and proud Albertans, we at Gibson truly believe we’re living in the greatest place on earth,” says Gomke. “We understand, however, that it’s our privilege and duty to give back to the community as much as possible. We work hard at making sure that happens, through our time, monetary contributions and as part of our daily lives.” With support from donors such as Gibson, social workers are able to provide short-term financial grants to approximately 500 patients and their families every year, allowing them to focus on what is really important–beating cancer.

“Before we do these games we get sort of a shopping list from the Foundation, and their big wish was for the confocal microscope, so we went for it,” he says. “This microscope will be our working-horse machine,” says Dr. Xuejun Sun, director of the cell imaging facility at the Cross Cancer Institute. “It’s a newer generation research instrument that allows us to look at live cancer cells, which helps us understand their properties and how drugs and other therapies may be able to work on them.” Sun said the microscope is expected to arrive and be in operation by the end of the year. “Of course, we’re all really excited to get this instrument,” Sun added. “It will help us to make important discoveries, and we’re really grateful to Ledcor and Dr. Saik and everyone else who made this happen.” Walker says, “After we made this donation, I heard so many stories about how people’s lives have been affected by cancer, and it makes what you’ve done so much more special.” Saik added that the 2008 hockey game won’t likely be the last of its kind. “I’ll do another one, for sure,” he says. “I’ll keep doing them for as long as I can, or we get a cure for cancer, whichever comes first.”

t was the intermission of an Edmonton Oilers hockey game, and the vice-president of Ledcor Construction Limited pulled his head up from crunching numbers to watch Dr. Brent Saik struggle through an interview. Saik looked like a ghost, and, as Walker heard his story, he needn’t wonder why. Saik and 39 others were near the end of an attempt to play the world’s longest hockey game–

10 continuous days–to raise money for the Alberta Cancer Foundation. If that wasn’t hard enough, the game was being played outside, and central Alberta had been stuck in a bone-chilling deep freeze, with temperatures plummeting as low as -40 C and colder with the wind-chill factor thrown in. Saik and his sleep-deprived crew had already raised $350,000, but they were stuck at that number, and if they could receive $500,000 they would match a pledge from the Alberta government and be able to purchase a $1 million

confocal microscope for the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton. “As soon as I saw that, I thought, ‘That’s it, that’s what we’ll do,’” Walker said. “It was so fortunate that I saw the TV interview then, it was a great stroke of luck.

Ledcor had celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2007, and the multi-disciplined construction company had been looking for ways to share some of its success. In particular, Ledcor wanted to focus one area of its philanthropy efforts to support children’s health–something the confocal microscope will surely do. Within a few weeks, Walker met with representatives from the Foundation and pledged that Ledcor would bridge the $150,000 gap needed to meet the $500,000 goal. “That was a good meeting,” Walker says. “People ask, ‘Who feels better, the giver or the receiver?’ Well, I can tell you, the giver felt pretty good that day.” Ledcor is a private, employee owned company, with more than 5,000 employees scattered across 14 branches in North America, and most of its charitable activities are done anonymously. However, when the company makes donations, they’ll usually tell their employees what they’ve done in order to share the glow of giving. “After that meeting, I sent an email to our Edmonton group to let them know what we’d done, and within hours I received so much positive feedback, it was overwhelming,” Walker says. “One employee emailed me that she had been going to the Cross every day to visit a relative who was fighting cancer, and she said she was so proud to be a part of this organization when she heard about the donation. I got a lot of messages like that.” The world record-breaking hockey game Saik organized in 2008 was the third such game he has spearheaded in five years, with each one running longer and raising more money. He said he had a “weird feeling” when he heard about the Ledcor donation, the largest that his group has received over the years. “We have so many people who do so much for us, and whether it’s a kid who gives us $20 that he’s spent all year saving or a big company like Ledcor giving us a huge donation, we know that it’s a big decision for them, and it blows me away every time,” says Saik, an optometrist whose wife and father have succumbed to cancer.

cientists may unlock the secrets of a deadly disease, but it won’t mean much unless they can find the means to translate their discovery into drugs or other forms of treatment that can help patients. To that end, Roche Canada recently announced a $1 million gift to support the Roche Fellowship in Translational Research for the Alberta Cancer Board. The fellowship will be awarded to a scientist or

clinician who is working to turn laboratory breakthroughs into bedside balms. “Historically, there has been a gap between the research lab and the clinical setting. Of course, there have always been people who have done it,

but in reality it is very hard for one person to develop the skills needed to conduct research and also be able to apply what they’ve learned as a clinician,” says Dr. Carol Cass, vice-president of the Alberta Cancer Board and director of the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton. “There is a shortage of people in the world who have the qualifications and commitment necessary to do translational cancer research,” Cass adds. “That’s why this support from Roche–a no-strings-attached fellowship for research translation–is such a generous and thoughtful initiative.”

Ronnie Miller, president and CEO of Roche Canada , says, “Roche employs an inside-out approach to community giving. This means we spend a great deal of time learning about what’s important to our business, what our employees value and where the needs exist in the community. We use this information to establish our corporate giving plans.” The Roche fellowship will be awarded annually for the next 10 years through a competition. The recipient will become a fellow in the Alberta Cancer Board Translational Training in Cancer Research Program, with an option to work in either Calgary or Edmonton. The first fellowship is expected to be awarded in the fall of 2008. “This fellowship will help ensure implementation keeps pace, and patients benefit as soon as possible from what is learned. Roche looks forward to seeing the real-world benefits to patients,” Miller says. “Roche and the Alberta Cancer Board share a common goal and that is to advance the understanding of cancer and develop innovative approaches and treatments that will improve the quality of life for Canadians,” Miller adds. “We’re proud to partner with the Alberta Cancer Board and Foundation to support cutting-edge projects being conducted by top-notch researchers.” “Unless you have multi-faceted facilities, such as we have at the Cross Cancer Institute, you often have a separation between research and the clinic, but we’ve set up an environment that promotes research translation. We’ve had many successes in the past,” says Cass, “and we believe this Roche fellowship will help us achieve more in the future.”

emory was a geologist in Calgary and had just given birth to their first child, Diamond, when she was diagnosed with GTN on September 15, 2005. This rare form of cancer that affects one in every 40,000 new mothers has a 50 per cent survival rate, but on January 9, 2007, Memory passed away. Her daughter was only 18 months old. Lyall then established Memory’s Foundation to share the story of his wife’s inspirational fight and to raise funds for the battle against cancer and as a legacy for their daughter. “I personally never want to see another mother so sick that she cannot take care of her baby again,” Lyall says. “Her life will save other moms in the future and there will be justice in the fight against cancer. Memory’s body may have failed, but her spirit continues today and will stay with us forever.” To honour Memory’s spirit, Lyall organizes an annual September hockey tournament in Calgary, Face-off Against Cancer, and contributes the proceeds to the Alberta Cancer Foundation. In 2007, the event raised more than $250,000. This year’s event will pay tribute to Crystal Violante, another young mother who lost her courageous battle with cancer. Violante was a public communications representative in Calgary diagnosed with a rare form of malignant melanoma shortly after giving birth to her first child. An emergency MRI revealed

the cancer had spread to her spine, hips and pelvic region, as well as her liver and lungs. She died six months after her diagnosis when her daughter was eight months old. Lyall, president of Memory’s Foundation, first learned of Crystal’s situation when he spotted a story in a Calgary newspaper about her fight against cancer. “I felt we had to help their family in some way,” says Lyall. “Few people really understand how draining this is emotionally and physically. It’s a grind and your routine becomes absolutely crazy. You forget to eat and you’re dead tired, but you’re trying to stay positive.” Lyall contacted Crystal’s husband, Anthony, and offered assistance. “Crystal was moved by the foundation and their goals,” says Anthony. “When I first heard about Lyall and the foundation I was eager to meet him. I thought, ‘finally, someone that I can talk to that knows where I’m coming from.’ Meeting Lyall was really good for me, however, it was a turning point in the road. When he shared his story with me it was the first time I really thought ‘Crystal could really die and I would be left behind to pick up the pieces.’ Lyall made himself available to me for emotional support whenever I needed it.” Anthony is now thrilled to be a part of this year’s Face Off Against Cancer tournament. “I see this group doing amazing things for cancer funding and research and I hope to see the event grow to its maximum potential, whatever that may be,” says Anthony.

everal years ago, the Alberta Cancer Foundation made a commitment to assist with the development and expansion of cancer research in Calgary. This year, the Foundation provided funds totaling $4.1 million to help outfit and equip new lab space that will be home to dozens of researchers, fellows and graduate students all focused on developing an integrated approach to fighting cancer.

On the second floor of the University of Calgary’s Health Research Innovation Centre, researchers who were once scattered on different floors and buildings are now working together in dedicated space named the Howard Cancer Research Centre. Additional funds from the Kids Cancer Care Foundation and the Clark Smith family contributed to outfitting the new space. “These funds allowed us to develop a focused research effort within the footprint of the space

and it brought the clinical and basic scientists to this new hub,” says Dr. Stephen Robbins, vice-director of the Southern Alberta Cancer Research Institute.

“This allows us to put everything together in terms of scientific collaboration–it really is about going from the bench to the bedside and the bedside to the bench. The Howard Cancer Research Centre accommodates the labs of four major research chairs: the Alberta Cancer Foundation Chair in Brain Tumour Research held by Dr. Gregory Cairncross (co-funded with the University of Calgary), the Engineered Air Chair in DNA Damage and Repair held by Dr. Susan Lees- Miller (co-funded with the University of Calgary), the not-yet-filled Chair in Molecular Cancer Epidemiology (co-funded with the University of Calgary) and the Kids Cancer Care Foundation Chair in Pediatric Oncology (co-funded with Kids Cancer Care Foundation, University of Calgary and the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation). “Having clinical and basic scientists in such close proximity to each other and to patients at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre means a more stream- lined approach to finding the answers we need to fight the disease,” says Robbins. “In addition, we anticipate that this new space and equipment will help in recruitment efforts,” he says. “When top scientists see who they will be working beside and the leading-edge technology available in our labs there is added incentive to come here. “This focused cancer research effort can only mean more promising outcomes for Albertans.”

Alberta Cancer Foundation 07/08 Annual Review

Every gift counts The Alberta Cancer Foundation was established in 1984 to support and enhance the treatment facilities and provincial care programs of the Alberta Cancer Board. The money you give supports research discoveries that will improve treatments and save lives. Your donations directly support patient care and help caregivers provide information and comfort to patients and their families. And, keeping Albertans informed about the role they can play in a healthy future will pay tremendous dividends.
