In August of 2024 I will be embarking on the Tour de Cure to support a wonderful young man, Josh Lombardi. I have known Josh since he was born 33 years ago. Josh is a kind hearted, compassionate, fun loving guy in the prime of his life. Recently graduated from Dentistry, married this spring and adopted two rescue kittens from Mexico. But instead of living his dreams Josh has been diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive desmoplastic small cell tumour sarcoma and is battling as I write this.
The money you donate will go directly to support a lab at UBC that is researching the immune response to cancer with the goal of developing immune-based strategies to prevent, detect and treat Josh's type of cancer. In collaboration with other groups, they are developing a clinical trials program to bring novel immunotherapies to patients like Josh.
I know cancer has touched all of our lives and I so appreciate any support you can give to Josh's team and my goal.
With sincere thanks, Kelli
