On Sunday June 15, 2025, I will be part of “Team George Marr” participating in the Father's Day Run for Prostate Cancer in honour of my grandfather. The run is held each year in an effort to raise funds for Prostate Cancer research and awareness. 

This year's Father's Day Run will be held in person at Burnaby Lake Park, where Team George Marr will be walking and running in support of this cause. With your support, we have raised nearly $97,000 for prostate cancer research over the past 16 years.

Here is some info on my grandfather and our team:

George Marr was full of life and loved to practice Tai Chi. On Sunday June 15, 2025, Team George Marr (made up of family and friends) will, in his memory, participate in the Father's Day Run for Prostate Cancer to support Prostate Cancer Foundation BC.

Please support us in the Father's Day Run for Prostate Cancer. Your generosity will help find a cure for prostate cancer. By making a secure donation online, you will have a direct and immediate impact on the lives of men with prostate cancer and their families.

--------------------

As we move closer to Father’s Day, I am asking you to step up the fight against prostate cancer and support the men you love. 

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

Support me and make a donation.

WHY AM I PARTICIPATING IN THE RUN?

Because this run is for the tens of thousands of Canadian men living courageously with prostate cancer and their families. It’s for all the men who have died from this disease and the families who have lost loved ones. It’s for the roughly 26,000 men who will be diagnosed each year and everyone who cares about them.

THE JUNE 15, 2025 FATHER'S DAY EVENT

Is an annual event hosted by Prostate Cancer Foundation Canada, a volunteer based organization that represents Canada’s prostate cancer patients, their families and communities. Even if you aren’t a walker or a runner, you can still step up and volunteer or consider donating to PCFC to fund research for this disease that currently affects 1 in 8 men.

Every donation, no matter how small, will have a large impact for men and their families dealing with a diagnosis of prostate cancer in Canada. 

Thank you in advance for your generosity and for giving the men in your life the gift of health this Father's Day.
