BCCF Fundraiser in Support of RD
The fundraiser has ended. Thank you to those that donated money and prizes!
TOTAL RAISED = $7000.00
The windsurfing and kiteboarding community on bigwavedave.ca are rallying around their friend and windsurfing comrade Andrei Vojakine (Russian Dood) who has recently been diagnosed with brain cancer and is currently undergoing a six week cycle of chemotherapy and radiation treatments at the BC Cancer Agency, Vancouver Island Centre . He has taken to writing about his treatments here: http://www.bigwavedave.ca/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5411
Some words from Andrei:
“My name is Andrei Vojakine and I have been recently diagnosed with brain cancer. The disease came up very quickly and unexpectedly, without any warning signs. One day I was windsurfing on the Oregon coast and two days later I was at the hospital getting ready for the operation.
I would like to mention all the medical staff that helped me through the pre- and post-operation period, as well as everyone who helped me at the BC Cancer Agency. These people do an absolutely remarkable job of helping people pass through this difficult time and make our life easier. I would like to contribute, somehow, to cancer research, prevention and the support effort by increasing awareness in our community and by making a donation.”
We felt that it was only fitting that we honour our friend’s courage by having a promotional draw and donating the funds to the BC Cancer Foundation. The goal is to raise $7,500 and the draw is scheduled to run between November 1 and December 31, 2011. 100% of the donations will go to the BCCF in Andrei’s name. We have assembled some great prizes to give away to the donors. The tickets are technically free (for legal gaming reasons
), but we are asking that you donate over $20 to get one entry into the draw (one ticket per person).
>> CLICK HERE TO DONATE <<
Update Nov 24: You will receive a tax receipt for your donation.
Andrei’s healing journey will not be an easy one, but he has all the weapons he needs to battle cancer - courage, strength and determination. Please help us send a message to Andrei that he is not walking his healing journey alone.
Once you have donated, please be sure to post a note on this forum thread with your details so that your name can be added to the draw. If your name isn't on this list then you won't be in the draw!

I have no doubt the goal will be exceeded several times over!
[edit December 1]
Well that might be a trifle optimistic, but we've beaten the original goal already - lets make the revised one happen
