Dr. B & The Ride For Cancer
The conquest of cancer is a monumental task and won't be easy. But make no mistake, this event isn't just for athletes or cycling enthusiasts. The Ride to Conquer Cancer is for anyone who wants to challenge themselves for a great cause!
It will be a challenge in a number of ways, but with my bike, my helmet, and your generosity, a real impact will be made!
I am riding in memory and support of my family and friends who have been touched by cancers. I ride in memory of my parents (Rose 1996 and Bill 2012) who both died of cancer. I will put extra effort on the hill climbs in memory of my friend and colleague, Dr. Michael Weinberg, who passed away in 2012. I ride in support of my sister Betty who is a survivor of a rare form of breast cancer. I also support my good friend Tim who is fighting his own battles with prostate cancer.
Contribute to this history-making event with a donation to help me reach my goal of $3,200.

Identafi - Oral Cancer Screening
The term 'Oral Cancer' includes cancerous growths in the cheeks, lips, mouth, throat, sinus, tongue, or anywhere in the oral cavity. As with most cancers, age is the primary risk factor for oral cancer, as most people diagnosed with a form of oral cancer are over 50.
Three Canadians die every day from oral cancer! Late detection of oral cancer is the primary reason that both the incidence and mortality rates of oral cancer continue to increase.
Though tobacco use is a major predisposing risk factor, 25% of oral cancer victims have no lifestyle risk factors.
Oral cancer risk by patient profile is listed below:
Increased Risk: Patients 18-39

High Risk: Patients age 40 and older/; tobacco users younger than 40

Lighten Up this Season!
As the weather gets warmer, more local vegetables become available and as you spend more time outside, you will
likely crave lighter, colder, more refreshing meals. Instead of the soups, stews and grains that warmed you in the
winter, opt for more green leafy vegetables, salads, smoothies, raw soups and juices. This not only results in
simpler meals to prepare but will help you feel lighter, rejuvenated and more energized!
Here are 5 key ways to lighten up your meals this spring:
1. Start adding more salads to your diet.
For lunch or dinner, grab a big bowl and fill it up with fresh local greens.
Salads help eliminate toxins, increase energy and provide a balance to your body.
2. Drink your dinner.
This isn't ideal all the time. But on nights when you don't feel like eating a heavy dinner, try
making a blended cold soup (see the deliciously refreshing recipe below).
