The Breast Cancer Cell and Molecular Research Lab hosted the Brandon University Breast Cancer Awareness Walk on Friday, May 7, drawing a crowd of about 100 supporters from BU and the wider community.

Prior to the walk around campus, participants heard moving stories from breast cancer survivors Michelle Gerrard, Elizabeth Glaseman and Marcy Goetz, who shared their experiences as well as word that the Waves of Hope dragon boat team has raised $37,000 toward its goal of $150,000 to support the BU lab led by Dr. Mousumi Majumder. To learn more about the Waves of Hope and their Hope in our Backyard campaign to support breast cancer research at BU visit WavesOfHope.ca.
