The Lundin Cancer Fund: Funding the very best in brain cancer research
The Lundin Cancer Fund was created in honor of Mr. Lukas Lundin, who died from glioblastoma, a form of brain cancer, in 2022. Mr. Lukas Lundin was head of the Lundin Group of Companies, a leading force in the mining, oil and gas industries. Entrepreneurial and always adventurous, he was passionate about the resource industry and its power to transform lives. During the course of his illness, it was recognized that there was a considerable lack of awareness and treatment of various types of cancers, particularly brain cancers, as well as a lack of funding for clinical trials and new innovative research. He and his family wanted to change that.
To fund brain and other cancer treatment and research, Mr. Lundin’s four sons and Myriad Canada established the Lundin Cancer Fund at Myriad Canada. This Fund aims to finance the very best brain in cancer research and treatment globally, and to encourage international collaboration and sharing of scientific data.
“Project No Limit” Pre-Screening Event
To bring more awareness and publicity to funding brain cancer research, Jack and William Lundin are embarking on a momentous journey. They will be climbing Mount Everest guided by expert mountaineer, Nimsdai “Nims” Purja.
Every step of this journey will be in honor of their dad, Lukas Lundin, who passed away from Glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, in July of last year. Not only is this climb a tribute to Lukas but it is also an initiative to raise funding and to support those that are still alive and battling this disease.
The climb will be filmed and made into a documentary about Lukas’ inspiring life by the filmmakers of the Netflix documentary, “14 Peaks”. The working title for the film about Lukas is “No Limit”. Please click here to view the trailer.
Your donation for this event will contribute directly to funding vital brain cancer research and supporting those affected by this disease.
