A large group of 麻豆精选 friends and family held the second Pick for a Cure event which raised $2,690 for cancer research.
The group got together to pick apples with the proceeds going towards the 麻豆精选 PET scanner fund ($2,100) and the Ewings Cancer Foundation of Canada ($590)
鈥淓wings Sarcoma is an aggressive cancer which is most commonly found in children, teens and young adults. Since it mainly affects younger people, it鈥檚 often misdiagnosed as a sports injury, growing pains or bruising. We鈥檇 like to raise awareness so that parents know the signs and can get vital treatment as early as possible,鈥� stated organizers of the pick.
The Ewings Cancer Foundation of Canada recently released a documentary about the disease called Make it Stop.
The Ewings Cancer Foundation of Canada is a small organization with no paid employees and 90 per cent of its revenues going directly to cancer research.
