The Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation : In Our Lifetime

[slabaughericka]

I like the video. Good job!

[LDeezy223]

Remain Stong. We are going to beat this - the "Dragon" has taken so many of our loved ones from us and yet we remain a vigilant and responsive group - I am reduced to tears watching this but I FERVENTLY believe we are going to conquer this thing. To everyone who has lost, has had someone afflicted, or has personally suffered from Cancer, remain positive - We are going to prevail, and it will be a bittersweet symphony

[gagizzle123]

[theTechy101]

[Jasondreher]

[LiveLoveRide857]

i cant find the thread? whats the songs name?

[chaserising]

My brother was treated at the PMH. He loved them. I did the ride, 200 miles/2 days, in his memory and as a two time survivor. Last across the finish line, but it was awesome and i'm doing it again. This song always makes me think of Jerry, my brother. You were all awesome. I cannot wait to do it all again next June! This is a wonderful video, inspiring beyond measure. Chase Cameron

[lraesmith]

@chaserising Chase...I agree, Chase. This is an inspiring video. I hope people see it and decide to do more. I lost my mom and several family members and yesterday I walked 32kms with some of my family to help end womens' cancers. I will definitely be doing it again next year....and for years to come! You rock, Chase!

[NarutoSlip]

What's the song?

[LiveLoveRide857]

@NarutoSlip

Bitter Sweet Symphony

By = the verve

[supernewf21]

I cried. My favorite teacher died because of cancer.

My favorite part of the entire commercial is when the woman at the end of the commercial holds up a sign that says "given months to live" and then flips it over to say "four years ago." If that doesn't give you hope than I don't know what will.

[jwas65]

@supernewf21 I believe the brave woman you speak of was the individual that @MrHavelock wrote passed away last November 3. My Dad had cancer and beat it twice. I had heart disease and beat it, but my Dad is truly the hero.

[LittleBrownGuy17]

Canadiens Are Awesome :D

[Fomich]

My wife has a Stage IV breast cancer. She's being treated in the PMH. They're truly awesome there...

[simon726]

I heard that the song "Bittersweet Symphony" was not only used on this advert, but on a Nike advert, a couple years back. Does anyone recall seeing that Nike advert featuring that song?

[BoShur]

@simon726 /watch?v=iZxQDAyFY6s here's the nike commercial you were looking for.

I'm sorry for everyone who has cancer and wish the best luck to fight and conquer it! Live long and happy life!

[Dragslo]

great video, I think everyone in their lifetime will get to know someone with cancer, I've lost a few and know one with cancer. people need to know cancer can happen to everyone... even some of it may occure frequently because of genes (breastcancer?) we should all keep it in our minds. A few coins here and there, it's enough to help the cancer treatment developement. Thanks for uploading

[GeorgeRoxJazzsSox]

whats the name of the song?

[marajevomanash]

@GeorgeRoxJazzsSox The song is called Bitter Sweet Symphony by The Verve.

[Jay91150]

I have always thought the surgeon at 0:45 looks like the proudest man alive.

Kudos to each and every one of you.

[MrChaseCameron]

My brother Gerald had his Bone Marrow transplant there in May of 2009. He was a fighter, but passed November 27th, 2009. The day before I told him I'd do this ride, the miles, not just km. He grinned. I'll be at the Toronto one 2010, for Jerry. Chase Cameron.

[11xXDANIXx11]

both my neighbors died of cancer on the same day... both were givin weeks to live, 7 months before their death :(

[originalloverman]

[originalloverman]

[marajevomanash]

@originalloverman The song is called The Bitter Sweet Symphony. The Verve is the name of the band that came up with the song in 1997.

[Spades005]

Great Commercial

Amazing instrumental

[conveil]

Every time I see a powerful cancer message I automatically think of Terry Fox and what he put himself through in hopes of making a difference. Because of 1 man, over 400 million has been raised, can you imagine? He's like the messiah for cancer...

RIP Terry...

My aunt is in this commercial. She fought hard for four and a half years but sadly passed away this Tuesday. She will forever be remember for her bravery and good cheer. Hearts

[MrChaseCameron]

@toastertube Sorry to hear about your aunt. Perhaps she and my brother, who passed late last November, are chatting up a storm. Again, my condolences.

[Fomich]

@toastertube

Please accept my deepest condolences...

[Fomich]

@toastertube

Please accept my deepest condolences...

bitter sweet symphony by the verve

[ibajnup004]

this commercial really gave me a cold shiver down my spine, but to see all those treatments, and cancer survivors out there is a really good feeling, and this song is soo perfect for this commercial.

[xBlackHeartzzx]

whats the song callleedd ?

[MizterAaron]

I'm 14 and I'm kind of a quiet guy, like I don't show my expressions/feelings, I'm always "mellow", but when I saw this commercial I got shivers up my spine (literally) and just started to sob and cry out of the blue when I realized how devastating cancer is, not just cancer, but how tons of people go through pain and suffering, (MRI scans, Hair loss, amputation etc.) and realize how good our life is. NEVER take one day fore granted. Live everyday as if it were your last, GOD BLESS!

[9852193]

[anonymousintdot]

This is incredibly moving. Why not host a Christmas to Conquer Cancer 2009fundraising event or activity in support of finding a cure.

[barrielad]

This is a very *real* advertisement, personalized and the message is very subtle and effective. NOT like the teenagers standing on the street corner wanting a 'few moments of your time'.

[Carrotcrapper]

I cry everytime I see this commercial! It's so amazing to see what people have done and been through. I think we can fight all cancer :)

[prolinepicksplease]

This hospital played a major role in my faher's fight with brain cancer. Thanks to them he lived for 17 years with brain cancer. He passed away last year after a very long battle. To anyone battling cancer or who knows anyone battling cancer...keep your head up!

We are very fortunate to live in canada, and receive the types of medical treatment Princess Margaret can provide with our health care system.

i love you and miss you dad.
