Dr. Mousumi Majumder, the principal investigator for Brandon University’s breast cancer cell and molecular research lab, is hugged by Michelle Gerrard, team manager for the the Waves of Hope Dragon Boat Team, after the unveiling of a plaque outside the research lab on Thursday honouring the team for its fundraising efforts. The team, made up of breast cancer survivors and supporters, began their Hope in Our Backyard fundraising campaign in April with the goal of raising $500,000 by 2029 for the lab’s continued breast cancer research. In less than a year, they have already raised about $200,000. All of the funds raised go to the research lab. The university surprised the Waves of Hope team on Thursday with the unveiling of the plaque during a planned tour of the lab and lunch. (Tim Smith/The Brandon Sun)
