Transcription

1 On Sunday May 1, 2016, up to 500 firefighters from all over will be climbing the stairs of Calgary s BOW Building, Western Canada s tallest building and the highest elevation firefighter stairclimb in the world, in support of firefighters and citizens living with cancer. Hosted by the Calgary Firefighter Benevolent Society, Calgary is poised to cheer on the brave ones who will ascend the 775 vertical feet 1204 steps of THE BOW Building, in full firefighter duty gear. Starting at 3400 feet above sea level, this climb is the highest elevation firefighter stairclimb in the world! Firefighters will have the opportunity to be timed wearing their full duty gear, including provided SCBA packs (without air). Inspired by Seattle s Scott Firefighter Stairclimb, the sister (Kathy Blas) of a local fallen firefighter, Gord Paul, brought this event to the attention of the Calgary Fire Department, the Calgary Firefighter Benevolent Society and a local cancer charity. Wellspring Calgary provides programs, resources and support to people living with cancer along with their families and caregivers. The event is promoted and hosted by The Calgary Firefighter Benevolent Society whose purpose is to provide assistance to firefighters and their families when they are in need. There are 11 presumptive cancers that are a recognized occupational hazard of the firefighter s job. Those who live with cancer are heroes to their families and friends, living out each day with courage and hope. Firefighters also provide courage and hope; they are our everyday heroes. The event is fully endorsed and supported by the Calgary Fire Department. The Calgary Firefighters Benevolent Society (CFBS) is pleased to support Wellspring Calgary through this event, with the generous support and involvement of the Calgary Fire Department and Encana Corporation.

3 About Wellspring Calgary Mission Wellspring Calgary is a warm and welcoming community that provides a comprehensive range of support, resources and programs so anyone living with cancer and the people who care about them can improve the quality of their lives. Vision No one has to face cancer alone.

4 Background A cancer diagnosis can be devastating. It brings countless life-altering moments and events for the people who receive the diagnosis and for those who love them. People with cancer are compelled to find a new normal as priorities shift and relationships change. Life is different. Wellspring Calgary was born of a dream Motivated by their own personal experience with cancer, our co-founders John Stephure, Rita Egizii and Barbara Cunnings-Versaevel dreamed of a safe, warm, welcoming place that people can come home to when faced with a cancer diagnosis. They dreamed of a place where resources were freely shared, life was celebrated and hope restored where no one has to face cancer alone. In Calgary and area, only Wellspring devotes itself exclusively to the unique non-medical needs that cancer presents. We provide a vital complement to medical treatment, helping heal the body, mind and spirit. It is a place where people with cancer, along with their families and caregivers, can exchange information, develop a support system and create a sense of hope, in a warm, caring and welcoming atmosphere. Wellspring Calgary is one of eight community-based centres across Canada, with most located in eastern Canada, which provide a wide range of supportive care to individuals and families living with cancer. Wellspring Calgary was established in March of 2007, offering limited programs until Carma House opened in Wellspring Calgary provides a wide range of evidence-informed programs, speakers and other resources intended to support anyone living with any type of cancer and at any point on their cancer journey. Everything is offered free of charge and without need for referral. Wellspring Calgary receives no core government or agency funding, relying on the generosity of the community to directly enable us to provide these resources and support. Staff and more than 165 volunteers are proud to help others in a place they refer to as home. In fact, it is called Carma House - a warm, welcoming environment which is comfortable and safe. Wellspring Calgary welcomes men, women, families and caregivers who have been impacted by cancer, and offers a unique, individualized journey in support of healing, tailored to meet the needs of each person who contacts the centre. Our member-centred philosophy recognizes that everyone is different and each member has individual social, physical, emotional, spiritual and psychological needs. For more information please visit
