The money is being used to build a state-of-the-art lab for stem cell therapy -- the first of its kind in the province.
Campaign Chair Steve Titus tells CHSJ News despite the current economic
crunch being felt by everyone, people still found it in them to donate

The lab is set to open in the spring of 2012.
