Fundraising for Cancer
In Memory of the late Michael Brown:
From Mary, Terry & the Brown family:
Our son Michael was beautiful soul. Full of life and love and always smiling and happy. He manged to get through a very tough diagnosis by keeping positive and looking forward. His original diagnosis afforded him maybe 6 months. Through complementary treatments and chemotherapy, he received 3 years of life. We heard about the Vivian Medial Spa late in Michael's life. He received treatments which he reported made him feel much better. He was treated by a wonderful team at the Vivian Medical Spa, they not only gave him medical treatment but they cared for Michael as a person. I have never witnessed such a tremendous group of people at work.
Although we wish we had learned about the Vivian Medical Spa earlier, we truly believe in the treatments they offer and are convinced,through our own research, that they are advantageous to anyone with cancer.
We are grateful to all the staff at Vivian Medical Spa and we are grateful that we were able to give our son a little respite in an otherwise painful time.
Michael graced us with his never ending optimism and joie de vie this past summer. A true soldier, Michael was a fighter and fought his disease hard but succumbed to the effects of his Cancer in August 2010. Micheal was surrounded by wonderful family members that took amazing care of him, including his lovely Mother Mary. Gone but not forgotten, Michael's legacy lives on as his family generously donated to the Tom Ryan Cancer Care Fund in his memory to help others benefit from the Cancer care program at VMS but cannot afford the treatments.
Thank you kindly to the wonderful Brown family from all of us at VMS.
If you know someone who can benefit from our Cancer care program and is in need of funding, please contact us for more information on how the Tom Ryan Cancer Care Fund can help. (905) 473-1435- Brandy Kinnear, President

Tom Ryan Cancer Care Fundraiser
A Taste of the Senses, held on August 20th was our first fundraising event for the Tom Ryan Cancer Care Charity.
We had a full house of beautifully dressed guests from both Tom Ryan's lovely family and friends and other wonderful invitees.
The night was a huge success starting with sold out tickets, generous corporate sponsorships, as well as generous guest donations. We also had a silent auction including wonderful art pieces and lots of great items. Gourmet tasting stations and a local winery provided the refreshments and a lovely violin and chello duet set the ambiance for the night. Beautifully clad men and women were in great spirits as we celebrated the life of Tom Ryan.
Through this event we were able to raise $7, 751.00 towards cancer care treatments for palliative cancer patients looking to enhance their health and their quality of life during this difficult time. We look forward to helping as many people as we can with these funds raised and will be making this successful event an annual one.
We would like to thank everyone who came out and enjoyed this beautiful summer evening with us!

Tom Ryan Cancer Care Fund
At the Vivian Medical Spa we are honored to have had the pleasure of taking care of Tom on a weekly basis. No matter how much discomfort he was in, he always had a smile and a laugh in his voice. We enjoyed having Tom as part of our Vivian family and we want to remember him with this foundation.
Many people who come to us for treatments believe in what we can offer to them, but being a new and small company, we can only help financially with so much. With the help of the Tom Ryan Cancer Care Fund and the people that donate to the fund, we would not have to turn anyone away because they cannot afford the treatments to help them live a better and more productive life. We also have six extremely generous people who make up the Board of Directors and do everything to put these events together and raise funding on a volunteer basis and oversee the fund. We hope in the future many people, with the help of the Tom Ryan Cancer Care Fund, will be able to appreciate the efforts and dignity of Mr. Tom Ryan. Donations to the Tom Ryan Cancer Care Fund can be made at any Royal Bank of Canada.
