AUGUST EVENTS:
BBQ FUNDRAISER - 'DIVE FOR FOR OVARIAN CANCER' (On behalf of Club Member, Elsa M.)
OVARIAN CANCER – The silent killer for women
“I am sorry to tell you Elsa, but I have bad news for you…your CT scan shows you have advanced stage Ovarian Cancer”. These are the words that come from my former doctor’s mouth. How many of you think they will hear these words? We all hope we DO NOT hear them.
As some of you know, I was diagnosed with stage 4 Ovarian cancer in September 2017. I have received chemotherapy, had a very invasive surgery, more chemotherapy, and a trial drug. In February of 2019 I was told that my body is not responding to chemotherapy and was given a medication to prolong the progression of this deadly disease. As of right now, there is no cure for my cancer and cell type.
Ovarian cancer is the deadliest gynecological cancer and takes the lives of more than 15,000 women each year. Ovarian cancer is the 5th leading cause of cancer related deaths in women. My family has been shaken by the events of this and we need your help.
Please join us on Sunday, August 25, 2019 at Porteau Cove for a “Dive for Ovarian Cancer”. In addition to the dive, and with the generous help from the Fraser Valley Scuba Club, we will be holding a BBQ lunch fundraiser with the proceeds going to Ovarian Cancer Canada. The cost of lunch will be $10 per person, this includes: a hamburger or smokie, side dish, beverage and dessert. Vegetarian options are also available for $10.
Splash time: around 10:00 am
Lunch: around 12 noon
Please confirm your attendance and what your preference is for lunch so that we have enough for everyone. This event will be weather dependent and will be rescheduled if necessary, so please check Facebooks for updates the day prior.
Confirmation options: email elsaferguson1@hotmail.com or sign up for the FaceBook Event.
BBQ payment options: e-Transfer fvscuba@mail.com or bring cash to the event.
Donation options: Go to GoFundMe Dive for Ovarian Cancer
Brent, myself, our children, and all women, thank you for your support!

Last year we had some great club events including trips to Port Hardy, Pavilion Lake, Quadra Island/Campbell River, Tuwanek, as well as some local dives around Howe Sound, wreck diving around Nanaimo, and hyperbaric chamber simulated dives at SFU. Our Club also hosts an annual summer BBQ and Christmas party. It isn't all about diving!
