In 2016, over 525 motorcycles and volunteers raised $106,475! Every donation stays here in Manitoba and we are anxiously looking forward to even greater success at this years event. Over the years we have supported many projects that have made a difference in the health of Manitoban’s. Projects such as:
- A Consultation Recording Service that allows patients to take home a recording of the conversation they had with their health care team.
- We have also supported the purchase of a new camera called a Molecular Imager ChemiDoc XRS System for CCMB. It is the most sensitive imaging machine using a supersensitive camera, for viewing molecules within cells. It allows the scientists to look closer at breast cancer tumors identifying specific proteins and genetic material.
We are now focusing on raising money for two projects. Project #1: Understanding and exploiting DLC1 tumor interactions with non-muscle myosin. Dr. Michael Mowat will study how anticancer drugs affect both normal and tumor cells, resulting in adverse side effects. Project #2: Design of a signal classification method for breast abnormality detection in remote communities. Dr. Stephen Pistorius and his team at CancerCare Manitoba are developing low power microwave technology and techniques for early stage breast cancer detection.
