The numbers are grim B次元官网网址� one in two people in British Columbia will experience cancer in their lifetime.
Lt. Sean Milley came face to face with that reality when not only he was diagnosed with cancer, so were two of his shipmates on HMCS Calgary.
B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e not okay with that stat,B次元官网网址� says Victoria resident Milley, a father of two. B次元官网网址淭he disease has affected us all differently, but we all know the burden cancer puts on our lives and the lives of our loved ones.B次元官网网址�
To that end, Milley assembled a team B次元官网网址� most members are his shipmates B次元官网网址� who would forgo alcohol for the month of February in the BC Cancer FoundationB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址淟ose the BoozeB次元官网网址� fundraising challenge.
Team Onward, named for the motto of their ship, set a goal of $7,500, but just 10 days into the challenge it was met. The crew regrouped and upped the ante to $10,000 and as of press time, were sitting just above the $8,700 mark.
Milley says giving up booze for the month hasnB次元官网网址檛 been all that difficult B次元官网网址� the benefits are twofold because itB次元官网网址檚 a healthy lifestyle choice. B次元官网网址淪o many cancers are attributed to alcohol,B次元官网网址� he adds.
Ultimately, the challenge has given the team the opportunity to make a difference, something Milley considers worth supporting.
B次元官网网址淐ancer has affected our lives, but we will continue to carry onward.B次元官网网址�
