Thom Beats Cancer Thom Collegiate students broke fundraising records during their week-long fundraiser. Thom Beats Cancer carries on the 25-year legacy of former student, Christian Alphonso. When Christian was diagnosed with cancer at age 19, his best friend Daniel drove him to his cancer treatments and their classmates began fundraising to provide support. Sadly, Christian lost his year-long battle with cancer, but his memory lives on through the annual Thom Beats Cancer event. To-date the students and staff have raised over $229,000 for the Allan Blair Cancer Centre to support cancer patients’ care and treatments. Daniel and his high school sweetheart, now wife, Laurel and their family, chose to match the funds raised by the students this year, bringing the 2023 Thom Beats Cancer grand total to $34,517.90! |
