WICC is celebrating our 20th anniversary this year and the WICC Annual Breakfast for Cancer is entering its 19th year. 

The primary objective of the breakfast is to provide information that will help guests achieve a better understanding of cancer and its effect on our lives.

Join us this year to hear from special guest Bobbie Goldie.  When Bobbie was diagnosed with breast cancer on December 4th 2015 she began working tirelessly to continue to be a wife, mom, friend, aunt, cousin, employee, leader, and peer.  As this is a struggle every day, she continued to expand her toolbox, and started a blog as her logical next step . . . to share her journey, good days and bad . . .

On July 29th Bobbie was told that she was cancer free. She continues to pursue her career at Chubb Canada in Major Accounts and also keeps her focus and dedication on her family.

Dr. Uri Tabori is a talented scientist and clinician who has quickly emerged as a world leader in childhood cancer research.  His work has greatly advanced our understanding of childhood brain tumours, especially in children with certain medical conditions that predispose them to cancer.  One of Dr. Tabori’s outstanding contributions include the role of protecting DNA Strands in the biology of childhood brain tumours.  Dr. Tabori has also helped explain the molecular basis of pediatric low-grade pliomas (PLGGs), the most common brain tumours in children.  Dr. Tabori’s research acts as a springboard to use scientific knowledge to make a difference to cancer patients in the clinic.  Dr. Tabori is committed to improving children’s health worldwide.  He is a strong advocate for Canadian cancer research, and generously volunteers his time and expertise with the Canadian Cancer Society and other research funding organizations.  His outstanding potential has been recognized by prestigious awards and his research is having a direct impact on cancer care.

We are very pleased to welcome Bobbie Goldie and Dr. Uri Tabori for our expert panel discussion at WICC’s 19th annual Breakfast for Cancer.
