MP Moore & Cancer Foundation to Host Charity Golf Tournament

COQUITLAM — Tri-Cities MP James Moore and the B.C. Cancer Foundation will host the "James Moore Charity Golf Tournament" on Wednesday, September 5th, 2007 at the Westwood Plateau Golf & Country Club.  "We have all been touched by the tragedy of cancer, and this tournament is a way for people to donate to a great cause while enjoying a great day of golf on one of B.C.'s great courses," says Moore.

Proceeds from the James Moore Charity Golf Tournament will support the Clinical Trials team in the B.C. Cancer Agency Advanced Therapeutics Department.  This team works with clinicians on research studies of new anticancer treatments; specialized laboratory tests to determine both the safety of a new drug and to understand how it works.  The B.C. Cancer Agency Clinical Trials Research Program actively develops new therapies for treating cancer patients.  It is only through clinical trial research of new treatments that we will improve the outcomes of more patients with cancer.
