OUR FOUNDER DR. LUK, HAS RECEIVED YET ANOTHER AWARD!!




On Jan 31, 2016, our founder, Dr. Tse Li Luk, received a City of Winnipeg Community Service Award from Mayor Brian Bowman! 

Citation - Dr. Tse Li Luk, O.M.
Dr. Tse Li Luk is a family physician based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He considers himself blessed with two professional passions, namely medicine and photography. He has donated his award-winning photographic prints to help raise funds for many local, national and international charities. He is also an avid volunteer and has donated his time and talent to various local charitable events around Winnipeg. In 2013, Dr. Luk founded Cancer Crossing which is an entirely volunteer run organization that raises funds for cancer patients. Cancer Crossing published a patient companion book and fundraiser for cancer patient services across Canada. The Cancer Crossing book is a compilation of stories of cancer patients and caregivers accompanied by touching black and white photographs.

Congratulations Dr. Luk!!

HAPPY 2016!

Happy 2016 everyone! Cancer Crossing was blessed in 2015 with so much positive activity!

Our e-book was released on Amazon at the end of April. If you are into e-books, be sure to support us with a purchase. It is available on most Amazons worldwide!

In July, McNally Robinson in Winnipeg started to carry the softcover version of our book and in September we had our book launch there where it was standing room only!
It's a new year and Cancer Crossing is a motivating read. Hard to believe that those that have stared cancer in the eye say they are now better people and are living their day to day lives with that in mind. Pick up a copy in store or from McNally online - you will be glad you did!

Remember that all net funds we receive from book sales, and all funds we receive from donations go directly to our cancer patient financial assistance fund. Thank you to everyone who donated in 2015 and in December we received a very large donation to further the building of our fund!

Stay tuned for more announcements in 2016!

In the meantime, please continue to share our posts and tell people about our project, donate to our fund and buy our book.

Once again, Happy 2016 everyone from all the volunteers who run Cancer Crossing! Remember to be kind, you never know what challenges the person beside you is facing. We hope in turn, you are met with kindness each and every day!

'CANCER CROSSING' BOOK TESTIMONIAL

We received a testimonial on our book, 'Cancer Crossing'.  You can read it below.  Thank you Orrasia for taking the time to write in. 
Remember everyone, Cancer Crossing is available at McNally Robinson Booksellers in Winnipeg and on Amazon in e-book form.  Net proceeds directly to cancer patients to help with their expenses during a most difficult time. 

“When I started reading Cancer Crossing, I just kept right on till I had read the last page.
This book is an Inspiring read and involves Cancer patients, their caregivers, and a Medical perspective--a well rounded look at Cancer and how it touches more than the patients themselves.
The narratives flow through the book and the easy to read font and colorful presentation are pleasing to the eye and encourages one to read the book from start to finish.
I totally identify with Cancer Crossing.
I am a Cancer Survivor”.
