Meet Douglas College Olympic torch bearer

Two-time cancer survivor Anna Solnickova will be thinking of Terry Fox as she completes her portion of the Olympic torch run tomorrow. Solnickova beat osteosarcoma and then lung cancer, both the same types of cancer that Terry Fox had, before coming to Douglas College to study business administration. Her perseverance, courage and dedication to the community are why she was selected to be the official Douglas College torch bearer.

Following her walk with the torch in New Westminster tomorrow - Tuesday, February 9 - Solnickova will join the Colour Douglas Red Day celebrations in the concourse of the college’s New Westminster Campus at 1:30pm. To schedule an interview with Anna, please contact Douglas College Director of Communications Brad Barber at 604-527-5327 or barberb@douglas.bc.ca
