David Wong of World Chinese Business Association of Canada says
Patrick Chan is in Vancouver today, to lend support for the important efforts in the community raising awareness for bone marrow match/ stem cell research. Celebrate Patrick Chan as Canada’s figure skating champion…and to support his efforts for the 2014 Olympics . And of course, he’s the guest of honour for tomorrow’s big fund raising and Community Support event in his quest for Gold in the XXII Winter Olympics!
The World Chinese Business Association of Canada (WCBAC) together with proud fans and supporters of Canada’s Champion Figure skater, Patrick Chan, are holding a media conference on Friday to show our continuing support for Patrick, and to celebrate his continuing winning streak!
At the 2010 Canadian Championships, he was nominated to represent Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympics. He placed 5th in the men’s event.
On April 27, 2011, Chan set a new world record of 93.02 points for the short program. Chan then set a new world record for his free skate. Chan was crowned World Champion in Moscow on April 28, 2011. In recognition, Chan was named the recipient of the prestigious Lou Marsh Award as Canada’s top athlete.
Patrick Chan also supported One Half Chinese Stem Cell Initiative a charity dedicated to increasing the number of stem cell donor registrants of Chinese descents on the OneMatch Stem Cell Network. By registering as a donor he hopes to lead by example, encourage more new potential donors to join him and increase the likelihood of finding that life-saving match for patients.
