Cueballs for Cancer 2.0's Myeloma Challenge 2020
The initial Cueballs for Cancer was formed as a support group for Allan Kovacik in preparation for his stem cell transplant, July 2018. As Allan was going to go bald anyways, a group of three friends shaved their heads in a show of support. Funds were raised in connection to this loss of hair.
Cueballs for Cancer 2.0 replaced hair loss with riding a bike. Allan, friends, and family cycled 15 Kms around Glenmore Park on Sunday, August 16th. The Cueballs group was able to raise over $3,000 and helped SAMPS reach its $50K goal. Way to go gang!
A big congrats to all that participated, with a particularly heartfelt thank you to all that contributed. By supporting the research at the U of Calgary, you are helping to move the Myeloma needle from treatable to curable.
