    “I speak about cancer. I ride my bike. I do these things because I want to change the story. I want a different ending.”

    In 2008, Patrick Sullivan lost his young son Finn to an extremely rare form of cancer, rhabdomyosarcoma. A few months later, he was approached by two close friends: “They told me about this fundraising bike ride to Seattle, the Ride to Conquer Cancer. They wanted to put a team in it – and do it in honour of Finn. That was the start of Team Finn.”

    Every member of Team Finn is inspired by a little boy who lived every moment of his short life to the fullest. Their distinctive pink jerseys read “Run. Jump. Bounce. Dance. Sing. Love. Smile. Ride,” words that celebrate Finn’s approach to every day.

    Finn showed how to live life with courage and joy, and his example has helped Team Finn achieve extraordinary success in raising funds for the BC Cancer Foundation. In just three years, they have raised over $1 million to support cancer research. As Finn’s father says, “Doctors couldn’t change Finn’s story. ‘Incurable’ was his ending. If I could change that for somebody else, then every moment of time is worth it.”

    The Harvest Golf Club
    2725 Klo Road Kelowna, BC

    Last year, over 120 golfers and dinner guests—joined by members of Sindi’s family—honoured Sindi’s compelling legacy by continuing her philanthropic spirit and fundraising for the BC Cancer Foundation. Through all of her efforts, Sindi helped fundraise over $20 million for cancer research and care in B.C., and inspired others to do the same. We are committed to growing this amount in her memory and are honoured to be continuing the legacy again in 2012.

    This prestigious golf classic will include 18 holes of golf, a shared power cart, special events and fun activities on every hole, followed by a meal with live and silent auctions and fabulous prizes.  You are invited to be part of the excitement as we build and honour the legacy of the golf tournament that Sindi Hawkins started fifteen years ago!
