08/20/2011 – 4th Annual Cypress Challenge: A Fundraiser for Pancreatic Cancer Research in memory of Jack Poole

Join Glotman Simpson Cycling as they climb Cypress Mountain for the 4th Annual Cypress Challenge: A Fundraiser for Pancreatic Cancer Research in memory of Jack Poole. The event, presented by Concert Properties and Jeff Mooney & Suzanne Bolton, is open to everyone with a bike, a helmet, and the determination to pedal up Cypress Mountain.  New this year is a First Peak category for recreational cyclists who want to climb the 5km to the First Peak Look-Out.  100% of the proceeds support the BC Cancer Foundation’s Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund.

Jack Poole, who was the driving force behind the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games, died of Pancreatic Cancer in October 2009 just a few months shy of seeing his dream come true.  He was a man of great spirit, drive and determination and his commitment to the community and to the public good was something he highly valued.  We are honouring Jack Poole by dedicating the Cypress Challenge in his memory.
