Join the GrasPods
Workout to Conquer Cancer Team!
As graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, we know that balancing academic demands with personal wellbeing can be challenging. That's why we're excited to invite you to join our Workout to Conquer Cancer team, a fundraising fitness challenge by the BC Cancer Foundation. By committing to move your body for just 30 minutes every day in May, you'll not only be supporting the work done at our Research Centre, but you'll also be taking care of your own mental and physical health.
