Runners raise funds that will support the Vancouver Prostate Centre at VGH. “Founded in 1998, the Vancouver Prostate Centre at VGH has become Canada’s leading — and one of the world’s foremost — prostate cancer research and treatment centres. Over 2,500 patients are seen annually by the Vancouver Prostate Centre. The Vancouver Prostate Centre’s surgeons and researchers have developed and delivered optimized care results to men with prostate cancer. While BC has the highest incidence of prostate cancer in Canada, it also has the lowest mortality rate thanks to the pioneering treatments and innovative research that take place here.”

Registration for Harry’s Spring Run Off, presented by Harry Rosen, is still open until March 20, 2012. Follow the run on Facebook for more information. Thanks to Stephane for letting me know about this run.
