University of Calgary – SARC Research Tour
Friday February 10th 2023 – The CSO Board enjoyed the afternoon at the University of Calgary – Cumming School of Medicine where Dr. Daniel Vis (Respirologist & Clinical Lecturer Department of Medicine Lead Physician, Pulmonary Sarcoidosis Clinic SHC) gave us a great presentation on the current state of knowledge about Sarcoidosis. We also discussed how the donations being raised could be used with a brainstorm session about various ways to help bring awareness to more people and help the research team expand and collaborate with others across Alberta and the nation. Thank you Dr. Vis and Andrea for the wonderful afternoon and your exceptional work!

2019 3rd Annual “Sarc Walk” – Walk to Support Sarcoidosis
Our 3rd Annual 5km “Sarc Walk” took place on April 27, 2019 at Calgary’s Fish Creek Park. We started walking from the Burnsmead entrance off of Bow Bottom Trail SE starting at approximately 9:30AM. We had the pathway marked out again all the way out to a 2.5km turnaround point and walk back to the start point for a total of 5km. The weather held out for us in the morning thankfully and it turned out to be a relaxing walk with all the dogs that came along as well!

Thank you Gayle Manz for the great looking bandana’s the dogs were able to wear during the walk.
