Monkey Crew fighting for our Childrens Future
For those of you that do not know me and my story, my name is Christopher Burke and I recently lost my daughter Sevanah Kathleen Burke Simmons to a supposedly rare brain cancer DIPG. During our battle with this vicious monster Angelina (Sevanahs mother) and I became aware of just how far our healthcare system has fallen from its original purpose of providing health and wellness to Canadians. Let me be clear we were very impressed and amazed with the amazing treatment we received at Kelowna General Hospital during our time there with our little girl, this is not about the Hospital and its staff. You can see the story here at www.monkeycrewagainstdipg.com
My concern in our health care system is much the same as in our Regulatory systems in Canada, these systems no longer exist to serve the public, they simply exist to serve themselves.
I will be writing much more on the dangers of the privatization of our health care system and how the current criminal state of our Regulatory system in Canada will extend to our health care system as well if we do not act to prevent it soon. We have started the Monkey Crew in honour of our daughter to in order that we bring awareness to the subject so that we can find a cure.
Today however I would simply like to thank Angelina for her hard work in our campaign to raise awareness and funding for a childhood cancer that no attention.
Childhood cancer research funding in Canada amounts to only %3.5 of all funding in Canada, DIPG just a minute fraction of that amount. Monkey Crew Against DIPG is happy to announce this week that for the first time ever the Canadian Brain Tumor Foundation will be funding DIPG research. http://www.braintumour.ca/4473/research-studentships
