Tony Graham Automotive to Match Ottawa Run Funds Raised for Cancer Research

April 16, 2010 · Filed Under Festivals in the News, News

They have proudly served the Ottawa area for the past 40 years and the Tony Graham Automotive Group has announced that its dedication to this community would extend well beyond their loyal customer base.

Participants join the MDS Nordion Run For a Reason Challenge and raise funds for The Ottawa Hospital – the official local charity of Ottawa Race Weekend (May 29-30). Every dollar raised in support of cancer research leading up to Ottawa Race Weekend will trigger a $1 donation from the Tony Graham Automotive Group – up to a maximum of $200,000. One of the researchers who will benefit from this generosity is Dr. John Bell, who is currently studying viruses that can kill cancer cells.

The funds raised by the community and donated by the Tony Graham Automotive Group will support the creation of a Centre for Innovative Cancer Research at The Ottawa Hospital General Campus where Dr. Bell, and many other researchers, will work to discover new and more effective ways to treat cancer.
