Do you need anything? I'll be there mid october for mother-in-laws 80th. She needs a mission. Also know a nun there who that lost a mom to BC if that helps. If you need something, I have enough relatives and friends that may do it, ie ride to airport, order of wings. Can BC people donate marrow? I'm guessing not. Best of luck. BB
