Gurkanwarjit Singh bains passed away 2018 march 18th

Gurkanwarjit Singh was a marvel, born on June 9th,1997. He was the only brother of three elder sisters and son of his father, Mr Inderjeet Singh Bains and mother Jaskaranvir K Bains. He was a brilliant student of LA school. After graduating from LA Matheson secondary school, he was passionate about real estate business, and he finished his study to be a realtor in 2017. He was a sports lover and was very creative and adventurous. Everything was exciting and growing and was moving fast to achieve higher echelons. Since the future is unknown and is full of uncertainties, life became challenging when he was diagnosed with cancer. Life became hopeless and depressed. At this moment, family and friends became the pillar of encouragement; he fought courageously with this killer disease but left for his heavenly abode in March 2018 at the very young age of 20. Master Gurkanwarjit floated the idea to his parents when he had reached the last stage of disease and took a promise from his father to set up the Gurgian foundation before leaving this world. The existing Gurgian foundation was formed by him which is raising funds to help the international students who suffer from cancer. It is a tribute to Gurkanwarjit and is an effort to keep his initiative of supporting people suffering from cancer. The Gurgian foundation shall work with the vision to spread awareness and cure people suffering from this killer disease along with more social activities to help needy people.

I am a two-time cancer survivor from Jan 2017 to April 2022. When I was declared cancer free a second time after removal of my 30% liver, I felt a compelling wish to pay tribute to Terry Fox by walking across Canada through 13 main cities starting from St. John’s, the same place where Terry fox dipped his only leg before commencing his ‘Hope of marathon’ in 1980. I with the help of my philanthropist friends Inderjit Singh Bains & Jay Minhas along with several dedicated members and media raised $51,000 in less than two months and donated to BC Cancer Foundation in the presence of BC MLA Amandeep Singh. My walk and fund raise campaign was covered by national TV channels CBC, CTV and Global news besides numerous local print media, radios & TV channels. I have spent almost $9000 from my own pocket for raising the funds. I have devoted &want to devote most of my rest of the life to help society by spreading the message of positivity and staying strong in adverse times like I went through in the last six years. Hon’ble Raj Chouhan, BC parliament speaker & Harry Bains, BC MLA besides many more states persons have highly appreciated my efforts. In future, I will be working to bring people out of depression by motivating them through various ways like motivational speeches, seminars, various cultural activities.
