By 2018, I thought we would have had a cure for cancer. Unfortunately, it's still the leading cause of death in Canada, responsible for 30% of all deaths. 1 in 2 Canadians is expected to develop cancer during their lifetime, and 1 out of 4 Canadians is expected to die from cancer. It's about time we put an end to this disease.
I've teamed up with my sponsors to raise money for the
Western Canada Ocular Oncology Fund. 100% of all proceeds go directly towards improving patient care and ocular cancer research. There are zero admin fees.
Currently, my mom is fighting her own battle with cancer. She suffers from choroidal uveal malignant melanoma; a rare form of cancer which affects about one in one-million, and has a mortality rate of 80% within five years of diagnosis. Over the last six years, she has undergone countless surgeries, radiation therapy, and almost every pharmaceutical drug imaginable. She has lost almost all her sight in her right eye and continues to struggle with balancing her life and treatments. My dad also won his fight with oesophageal cancer when I was a kid—my family has dealt with this enough.

The best thing you can do to prevent cancer and heart disease is through a plant based diet. There is enough study’s that prove that now. I suggest alot of you check out www.nutritionfacts.org This is a doctor who has dedicated his life and career to reviewing nutrition study’s and giving information to the public. It is normally found in scientific journals that are hard to Read and you have to pay for.
Unfortunately there is a lot of corruption in meat and dairy as well as pharmaceutical companys.
So that being said there is technically a way to prevent most diseases and reverse some and it’s one touchy subject because no one likes to change. Especially when it comes to what they’re eating.
Props for doing this Reece. I respect what you are doing and I hope your mother gets better !

I’m sitting here in my 8th year of battling stage four colon cancer. It’s taken so much from my family and I.
Everybody please be grateful for what you have and give your loved ones big hugs and tell them you love them.
