Why WCK?
WCK embodies core values that are near and dear to myself and my family. Our forever 9 year old son, Cameron, died of brain cancer in May, 2020. Throughout his two and a half year battle, our family made the choice to make lemonade from the lemons and infuse as much joy, fun and memory making we could into our days together. WCK came alongside us and brought serious fun, amazing support and people who became like family. WCK is a grassroots organization that understands the importance of basic needs, such as food for families or support for siblings and how when those needs are met, families experience less stress and more time together.

Why WCK?
Having gone through the cancer fight myself, I can imagine a little bit what it must be like for families dealing with all the impacts a diagnosis brings. WCK offers critical support that families have said would help them focus on what they need during this challenging time. For me, wanting to help comes from how that's done. WCK staff and volunteers collaborate, listen, and deliver on what families have said would help them. Everyone is there for the families. I'm grateful to have the chance to be part of such an amazing organization.

I have a strong desire to make an impact and be part of something that contributes to the greater good. For me, WCK has been an opportunity to be part of building something important that aligns with who I am. I get to work with an incredible team who shows up with their whole hearts, feel a sense of community that truly listens and responds to needs, and connect people who want to give with a meaningful cause that really makes a difference. In a world where there is so much need for support, I feel grateful to be part of an organization that asks questions, listens to the answers, and creates relevant programs that change lives.

I can’t think of happier times in my life than when I’m spending it with my family, especially my nephews and nieces. After learning more about the incredible initiatives at WCK, I knew I had to get involved. WCK enables me to make a positive and meaningful impact for children with cancer in BC. Thank you WCK for this amazing opportunity!

Why WCK?
Family is my life. I have tried to imagine how I would feel if my daughter, niece or nephew was diagnosed with cancer. And I can’t. I simply cannot imagine. So where does that leave me? Asking what I can do, and then doing it. Offering my heart, and then giving it. WCK has given me the opportunity to help families overcome the unimaginable.

Why WCK?
Having lost a loved one to cancer and experienced firsthand some of the heartbreaking challenges faced by families navigating these types of diagnoses, I am committed to applying my skills and experience to improve services for folks who are managing cancer and blood disorders. I cannot imagine a more impactful community to support than children and their families. And I cannot imagine a more passionate and thoughtful group to join in this effort than WCK.

Stepping up and supporting families faced with unimaginable heartbreak definitely felt right to me.

Why WCK?
The amazing people at WCK have an infectious passion to help, providing services for families dealing with the overwhelming challenges associated with the diagnosis and treatment of their child. Having two kids of my own in 2019 and 2021 has brought my life joy and a new perspective I couldn’t have imagined. I’d do anything for my kids, and joining WCK was an easy decision to help other families in our community. I am excited about the future of WCK and everything I can do to help support more families with more services in the future.

Why WCK?
The mission that WCK has is such an amazing thing to be part of. I have been fortunate to have had a career in the food industry and that knowledge and experience helps me as a volunteer to WCK to continue to expand our programs to the families we support. As a father of three wonderful children I know how much our kids mean to all us. To be able to help such a worthy cause is an extremely rewarding experience for me. Thanks WCK for letting me lend a hand!
