Vancouver residents make New Year's resolution to climb Mount  Kilimanjaro to help create a future without breast cancer VANCOUVER, Jan. 2 /CNW/ - In February 2007, Vancouver's Gary Mayzes, Regional Director, British Columbia, CIBC Wood Gundy, will lead a team of 21 others who are scheduled to scale Mount Kilimanjaro in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. The Climb team includes 12 members from British Columbia, including four other CIBC Wood Gundy employees from the Vancouver area, David Babbitt, Pravin Kumar, Peter Leacock and Steve McCusker, as well as Darrell Mayzes, who is the team leader's brother from Nanaimo. As the new year begins, each participant has resolved to raise a minimum of $10,000 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. The goal for the 2007 CIBC Wood Gundy Climb for the Cure is to raise $275,000 to help create a future without breast cancer. "According to recent estimates, one in nine Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime," said Gary Mayzes, Regional Director, British Columbia, CIBC Wood Gundy. "The challenge of climbing a mountain probably pales in comparison to what breast cancer patients go through, but I want to do my part to raise funds for this important cause - and I am hoping my community will support me." The first CIBC Wood Gundy Climb for the Cure was held in 2004, and led by CIBC Wood Gundy investment Advisor Michael Ramsden. After watching his wife endure the challenges of breast cancer, Michael decided to honour her courage by conducting a challenge of his own - climbing the 19,340-foot summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro - to raise awareness about breast cancer as well as funds for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Each climber, including Gary Mayzes, is seeking donations in advance of the climb to support the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. In 2007, CIBC Wood Gundy is proud to be funding the Climb for Judy Dyer, a breast cancer survivor from Kelowna, British Columbia. The other members of the expedition are paying their own way to Tanzania and 100 per cent of the donations will go directly to the Foundation. Donations in support of the climbers can be made online at www.cibcwoodgundyclimbforthecure.com. The climbers will depart from Canada to Moshi, Tanzania on February 14th to begin the seven-day trek to the 19,340-foot summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.
