Michael Sobey

In conjunction with Movember this year and our Inaugural Michael Sobey Memorial Movember lunch, we are also raising money for bowel cancer, which is the cancer that took Michael's life.  He had a very rare and unusual manifestation of bowel cancer - it was only found when it had spread to his bones (only 1% of bowel cancers go straight to the bone), and a primary bowel cancer was never found.  His only options for treatment were radiation and chemotherapy, which was horrendously brutal, and took a drastic toll on his body and spirit. 

I am raising money for research into better treatment options for bowel cancer patients - to improve their quality of life during treatment, help to prolong their life, and maybe one day, provide a cure. Michael fought long and hard against his cancer, however despite his unwavering determination, it eventually got the best of him.  I would give anything to have him here with us now.
