A Journey of Inspiration ~ A Caregivers Story ~ Support Group

Date: Tuesday, June 4th, 2013
Where: The Lodge that Gives, South Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia
Time: 7:00pm
Guest Speaker: Debbie Matheson~ Caregiver.

Debbie will be speaking to those in attendance, about her journey through her husbands Pancreatic Cancer diagnosis.

In addition, we are going to be asking those in attendance about their own personal Pancreatic Cancer journeys, in the “medical world.”.

In particular, we would like to know if you felt that there were any “gaps” in your or your loved ones care and what recommendations you would make to improve patient treatment and care. We hope to use this at a later date, when making recommendations to the medical community.

All are welcome!

Sincerely,
Stefanie Condon-Oldreive
Founder/Director

                                                                         CLICK HERE TO REGISTER OR LEARN MORE!

On July 31st, 2013, 25+ cyclists will leave Halifax, Nova Scotia and embark on an amazing adventure, touring the Maritime Provinces; Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. These provinces are known for their rugged coastlines and distinct Maritime Culture.

Each cyclist will be part of a team, which cycles together.  Teams will leave from specific locations, along the daily route, which is mapped out prior to departure.

Along with the daily touring, cyclists will be present at one Pancreatic Cancer Information Session a day. Speakers will include Craig’s Cause Pancreatic Cancer representatives and medical specialists. For many of our cyclists, this is often the “heart” of the tour. Cyclists not only listen to and experience stories that will inspire and humble them; they often connect to individuals in attendance which leaves a lasting impression.
