As busy moms, balancing careers and families we have a lot on our plate and it is often hard to remember those less fortunate, or find the time to fight the battles needed to make changes!

Hear the stories of two amazing BC moms who have started charities close to their hearts, or created opportunities for others after fighting their personal battles.

Join us for hot coffee, a light breakfast and the chance to find out more about the charitable giving opportunities in our community. 

 

In the spirit of the event please bring new and lightly used pajamas for donating to our event sponsor Optimum Family Chiropractic’s charitable giving campaign this season. 

As well, we will be collecting non-perishable food items in support of the Nourish Foundation: Food for a New Beginning,  for inclusion in their hampers healthy, non-perishable food items to women who are leaving Joy’s Place (The Tri-Cities Transition House), which is a safe haven for women and children escaping abuse.

Purchase a Giving Back Ticket and you will receive 2 tickets.  Share your momcafe experience with a new or returning event guest this month for only 20$

Andrea has worked in the retail industry for over 20 years, Her experience includes working as the Brand Manager for lululemon athletica. She also ran her own PR and Marketing consultancy-Andrea Scott Ink and worked with Grouse Mountain Resorts, Whistler Water, Grip Limited and Happy Planet. Andrea is also the founder of the Hopeful Hand, a charity created through Skoah to benefit the parents of ill and terminally ill children at BC Children’s Hospital and the Alberta Children’s Hospital.

Kelly Findlay
 Kelly is Treasurer of Imperial Metals Corporation, a TSX-listed Canadian mining company, which operates two copper mines in BC and has a number of development-stage and advanced exploration projects in BC and Nevada. Imperial’s annual revenues are approximately $200 million per year. 

In 2003, Kelly was diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer. Faced with a grim prognosis, Kelly’s research led her to the Leonardis Klinik in Germany. Leonardis combines naturopathic and conventional cancer treatment, minimizing the toxicity of conventional treatments such as chemotherapy and works with the body’s own immune system to help recognize and kill its own cancer cells. As word of her successful treatments in Germany began to spread, Kelly realized that Vancouver needed a clinic like Leonardis.

Today, Kelly’s cancer clinic project is about to commence a clinical trial with the BC Cancer Agency. The trial will test two advanced technologies: “Chemo Sensitivity Testing” and “Circulating Tumor Cell Test”. If successful, the clinical trial will bring us much closer to individualized cancer treatment in BC and launch the development of a fully integrated clinic and Leonardis-like lab in Vancouver.
