One is a lovely rose taken nearby, the dragon is embroidered on a jean jacket that I love and which was in aid of breast cancer research. The Vancouver, BC Dragon Boat Races held every year also feature one canoe that is manned by Breast Cancer Survivors. So the dragon is in this way a very appropriate symbol. I used both photos for my new Magic City awards!
An additional note: OCTOBER is BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH; I hope that we can all help in any way we can to aid in this terrible disease. Note that Breast Cancer also affects many men! Cancer is a disease which comes in many forms and we all need to be aware of this.
... and for those who remember the original song by Peter, Paul and Mary:

This Saturday I participated in a 10k Race For Life at Clumber Park. I signed up for this in February when I started training in the gym. I struggled to run one mile on the treadmill - running is something that really doesn't come naturally to me. Keen to hit the 1 hour marker I continued training, also doing some resistance training, weights and toning exercises and swimming.
I am probably the fittest I have ever been in my entire life as a result of this and I feel so much better for it. I have put on a little bit of weight in muscle and for the first time in years, this number doesn't scare me.
The atmosphere on the day was so incredible, I can't believe I have waited until now to do this. The women there were all ages and abilities and all there for the same cause, to support Cancer Research. Reading everyone's back signs during the race was touching and inspirational and the supporters that came on the day were really enthusiastic, cheering on every single woman that ran past. I won't lie, half way around I wondered what I was doing to myself, but then crossing that finish line, and the icing on the cake, seeing ladies cheering who had lost their hair through treatment; made it all worthwhile.
My final time was 1 hour 1 minute, which is 14 minutes faster than my personal best. Needless to say my everything now hurts.
What an amazing group of college students! I can't even imagine climbing aboard a bicycle in Austin Texas, and then peddling myself all the way to Anchorage Alaska. In this photo you see just a few of the many who participated in this year's 2024 ride. (I think there were a total of 76 bikers.) The day was warm, and the little building they were surrounding, serves the most amazing cool beverages.

A charity event to race money for Cancer Research, the all women events are raced over 5km over, under and through obstacles and lots of mud. This one was in Basildon Essex, the message was on the back of a family member.
The Herne Bay "Race for Life" to raise money for Cancer Research UK took place in splendid June weather, with seasonal hailstones!
Fuji X-T1 and 100 - 400 lens are confirmed as VERY weather proof, both soaked and no problems.
This time last weekend I was taking part in a 24hr Relay to raise money for cancer research. My daughter found this little grasshopper and he hopped straight onto my top under my chin... We all had a fab 24 hrs and the whole event raised £80,0000 :-))))

Human colon cancer cells with the cell nuclei stained red and the protein E-cadherin stained green. E-cadherin is a cell adhesion molecule and its loss signals a process known as the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in which cells acquire the ability to migrate and become invasive.
Thanks to improvements in screening technologies and public health outreach, more cancers are being detected early. While that’s life-saving news for many people, it does raise some important questions about the management of small, early-stage tumors. Do some tumors take a long time to smolder in their original location before they spread, or metastasize, while others track to new, distant, and dangerous sites early in their course? Read more:

In this eye-catching image featured in the University of Utah’s 2016 Research as Art exhibition, red indicates a keratin protein found in the cytoskeleton of precancerous cells; green, a cell adhesion protein called E-cadherin; and yellow, areas where both proteins are present. Finally, blue marks the cell nuclei of the abundant immune cells and fibroblasts that have expanded and infiltrated the organ as a tumor is forming. Together, they paint a fascinating new portrait of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the most common form of pancreatic cancer.

An archived shot … today, April 12th, 2020, is the 40th Anniversary of Terry Fox’s monumental run to raise funds for cancer (see his story below)
Four bronze statues of Terry Fox — built to last a thousand years, said artist Doug Coupland — were unveiled in Sept 2010 on the Terry Fox Plaza at BC Place as a lasting memorial to a genuine Canadian hero.
The first of the bronzes is life-size but each increases in size until the final one is twice life-size. It depicts Fox giving his familiar wave to Canadians who, touched by his bravery, would line his route as he passed through their communities.
The statues face Stanley Park, which is where Fox was aiming to end his run.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Terry Fox was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and raised in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, a community near Vancouver on Canada’s west coast. An active teenager involved in many sports, Terry was only 18 years old when he was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer) and forced to have his right leg amputated 15 centimetres (six inches) above the knee in 1977.
While in hospital, Terry was so overcome by the suffering of other cancer patients, many of them young children, that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research.
He would call his journey the Marathon of Hope. After 18 months and running over 5,000 kilometres (3,107 miles) to prepare, Terry started his run in St. John’s, Newfoundland on April 12, 1980 with little fanfare. Although it was difficult to garner attention in the beginning, enthusiasm soon grew, and the money collected along his route began to mount. He ran close to 42 kilometres (26 miles) a day through Canada’s Atlantic provinces, Quebec and Ontario.
However, on September 1st, after 143 days and 5,373 kilometres (3,339 miles), Terry was forced to stop running outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario because cancer had appeared in his lungs. An entire nation was stunned and saddened. Terry passed away on June 28, 1981 at the age 22.
The heroic Canadian was gone, but his legacy was just beginning. To date, over $750 million has been raised worldwide for cancer research in Terry’s name through the annual Terry Fox Run, held across Canada and around the world.

shot with holly's friend diana this evening. she recently cut her hair off for the st. baldricks foundation to raise money and research for pediatric cancer.
i have to say she looks quite stunning after the cut.
very little editing to this, tried to keep everything in the camera. check out the bigger version above to see how this should look.

A new study may explain why treating head and neck cancers with the immunotherapy checkpoint inhibitor drug bintrafusp alfa before surgery may be more effective at preventing disease recurrence than surgery alone. The results show that bintrafusp alfa increases the number and spread of tumor-fighting immune cells throughout a patient’s body.

Shown here is a pseudo-colored scanning electron micrograph of an oral squamous cancer cell (white) being attacked by two cytotoxic T cells (red), part of a natural immune response. Nanomedicine researchers are creating personalized cancer vaccines by loading neoantigens identified from the patient's tumor into nanoparticles. When presented with immune stimulants, this activates the patient's own immune system, leading to expansion of tumor-specific cytotoxic T cells.
