Canadian Football Hall of Fame to sponsor Ron Lancaster Memorial Climb

On Saturday May 23, 2009, the 3^rd annual Climb for Cancer will be taking place at the Hamilton Chedoke Golf Course escarpment stairs.  Teams of 4 will climb the stairs for an hour, between 9am and 5pm, to raise money and awareness in support of the Juravinski Cancer Centre. Last year over 400 people climbed the equivalent of Mount Everest 27 times and raised over $42,000 dollars. 

Funds raised go directly towards supporting the Juravinski Cancer Centre and its mission to provide patients with high quality service in therapy & family support, leadership in education, and devotion to active cancer research. The JCC is the only cancer treatment facility in Central West Ontario capable of providing radiation therapy, and provides 60% of the regions chemotherapy. Over 200,000 cancer patients received these treatments last year. 

                As part of this year’s event we will be hosting the Ron Lancaster Memorial Climb.  From 12-1 on the day of the Climb members of football community, including teams representing the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Toronto Argonauts will be taking part in honour of the CFL legend. 

Help us honour the memory of Ron Lancaster by showing your support for cancer research.
