Mr. Lou Sekora (Port Moody—Coquitlam—Port Coquitlam, Lib.):
Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate the 5,000 Vancouver area residents who participated in Sunday's run in support of a cure for breast cancer. They raised more than $200,000 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Society's largest special event.
I want to extend personal congratulations to residents in my riding of Port Moody—Coquitlam—Port Coquitlam for producing the largest team, 223 friends neighbours and colleagues who ran in support of breast cancer sufferer Dulce Huscroft. Dulce could not participate. She is far too weak. Mrs. Huscroft is a wife, a mother, a school trustee, a community leader in Port Moody and a very brave person.
The run for the cure took place in 23 communities across Canada. Breast cancer is the largest cause of death among women in Canada between the ages of 34 and 54. More people join the run each year because cancer knows no boundaries.
