The ninth annual Discovery Luncheon, which benefits the BC Cancer Foundation, will be held on Tuesday in Kelowna.
This year’s lunch will raise money to support groundbreaking genomics research at BC Cancer. Genomics is when experts deploy whole genome analysis to inform individual treatment planning for patients.
Shannon Gall will be the patient speaker at the event, and she will share how genomics had a major impact on her life after her cancer diagnosis.
“I went from taking over 40 pills a day to now only taking one,” Gall said in a press release. “I am living proof that genomics makes a difference.”
The luncheon will take place on Tuesday from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort.
Some of the notable attendees will include BC Cancer Foundation president and Sarah Roth, BC Cancer regional medical director Dr. Ross Halperin and BC Cancer medical oncologist Dr. Sara Taylor.
