 Here we are at Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Treatment Centre talking about the generations project, a study involving 40,000 British Columbians, 300,000 Canadians dedicated to the goal of securing that elusive cure for cancer. This is an area where with our aging population we really have to get ahead of the disease onset now. And so this sort of large prospective study gives us an opportunity to better study early detection markers and find better prevention strategies for future generations. I lost two close family members to cancer both at quite a young age. My sister she was 44 and she passed away in 2005 and I lost my dad in 1999 at the age of 63. So if I could do anything at all to help find a cure or find out what causes cancer or anything then I'm willing to give my time. This is really about trying to identify some of the contributing factors to cancer in terms of diet lifestyle. The kind of thing that can only be measured with a large sample size of people in over a period of time. So the fact that here in the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford the spots are already filled is an indication of just how passionate British Columbians are about being part of the battle against cancer.
