Last week, QSR friend Jeff Brace, from the Brighton Club, gave us an update on the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, which was held in Belleville on June 24. 
 
After a 35-year career as a pilot in the Royal Canadian Air Force, Jeff won his own personal battle with the dreaded ‘C’ 14 years ago.  After that, he became an active participant and fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society. 
 
He revealed that 78,000 Canadians died of cancer-related causes last year, and that 2/5 Canadians will get cancer; this number will increase to 3/5 in the next 20 years, as our population not only ages, but lives longer.  Jeff updated the club on the laws passed in the Ontario legislature over the years, and while much has been done, the work continues to keep tobacco companies, and their marketing, at bay.
 
Jeff concluded his presentation by accepting a cheque from QSR to support the 2016 Relay for Life.
 
It was great to see you again Jeff – thanks for your update!
