The Scarborough Hospital Foundation is holding its annual Win A Car charity raffle to support the Cancer Care Program at The Scarborough Hospital and patients like Nelda Lozinski, who are living with the disease.

The 70-year old grandmother was first diagnosed with colon cancer in 2006 after having a colonoscopy at the Birchmount campus of The Scarborough Hospital. By that time, however, the cancer had already spread to her liver. After an operation on her colon, Nelda was referred to the Oncology Clinic at the General campus for chemotherapy where she met Medical Oncologist Dr. Henry Krieger.

"If it wasn't for the personalized care I receive from Dr. Krieger, I wouldn't be alive today," Nelda explains about the care provided by the doctors and nurses at TSH. "For now, I get to see the sunrise; I get to see the sunset."
