Context
- The Lundin Cancer Fund was created in honour of Mr. Lukas Lundin who died from glioblastoma, a form of brain cancer, in 2022.
- Lukas Lundin was head of the Lundin Group of Companies, a leading force in the mining and oil and gas industries. Entrepreneurial, and always adventurous, he was passionate about the resource industry and its power to transform lives.
- During the course of his illness, it was recognized that there was a considerable lack of awareness and treatment of various types of cancers, particularly brain cancers, as well as a lack of funding of clinical trials and new innovative research. He and his family wanted to change that.
- To fund brain and other cancer treatment and research, the Lundin family and Myriad Canada established the Lundin Cancer Fund at Myriad Canada.
