Law enforcement officers in the Lower Mainland are rallying behind a Metro Vancouver mom who is battling stage four breast cancer.

in 91原创, Canada鈥檚 largest indoor shooting range, will be donating all drop-in fees to help Breanne (Bree) Jordan on Thursday, March 18 at the Walnut Grove facility.

Range General Manager Keith Burville told the 91原创 Advance Times word has gone out to members of law enforcement agencies throughout Metro Vancouver, many of whom practice on the 91原创 facility鈥檚 tactical shooting range that is reserved for the use of police officers and qualified members.

鈥淭his is an event for law enforcement, (but) we鈥檙e more than happy for the public to join us, as well,鈥 Burville said.

In the four years since it opened, Burville said the range has held several fundraisers with the involvement of law enforcement, including Cops for Cancer.

鈥淚t鈥檚 always a good response,鈥 Burville remarked.

The main range, open to the public and members, is one of the few facilities in Canada where visitors can shoot weapons like the M-60 machine gun of 鈥淩ambo鈥 fame.

Reservations for the fundraiser can be made by phoning 604-833-4867.

A GoFundMe.com campaign 鈥溾 had raised $289,000 as of Sunday, March 7.

A post by campaign organizer Andrea Martens explained Bree鈥檚 cancer treatment in Canada is not working and a newly approved drug in Bellingham is her last hope for beating a 鈥渧ery aggressive form of breast cancer.鈥

The drug, currently only available in the U.S., 鈥渋s extremely expensive and is not covered by any medical plan,鈥 Martens said.

Jordan, a Coquitlam resident, was diagnosed in November of 2019, at 35, with stage 3C triple negative breast cancer.

After chemotherapy, surgery and radiation treatments, the disease has spread.

鈥淏ree鈥檚 doctors have exhausted all treatment options available in Canada,鈥 Martens said.

Her oncologist has recommended a new drug that has shown positive results for patients who don鈥檛 respond to other types of treatment.

It was approved last year by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but has not yet been approved in Canada, Martens said.

All she wants, she has said, is to watch her son, three-year-old Levi, grow up.
