St. John’s, August 11, 2011: Husky Energy CEO Asim Ghosh was joined by Mr. Earl Ludlow, Chairman of the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Care Foundation today to announce a generous gift of $750,000 to the Foundation.

"Husky is pleased to make this donation to the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Care Foundation which will support leading-edge treatment equipment in the fight against cancer," said Mr. Ghosh. "Our gift will enable cancer care teams to continue delivering quality treatment and care to cancer patients in Newfoundland and Labrador."

The gift of $750,000 will be designated to the purchase of TrueBeam, the latest and most advanced radiation treatment technology in the world. Approved by Health Canada in late 2010, TrueBeam technology is able to deliver the highest radiation dose available, with the most flexibility, precision and speed. The Foundation is very proud to partner with the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, which has designated $3.3 million for the purchase of TrueBeam. The Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Care Foundation has accepted the challenge of raising $2.5 million for this leading-edge cancer treatment equipment to benefit the people of Newfoundland and Labrador.

"We are very excited to receive this generous gift from Husky Energy," said Mr. Ludlow. "Our priority is enhancing radiation treatment services at the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Centre in St. John's – the only facility in the province where cancer patients can receive radiation treatment – and we are so pleased to have Husky join us in achieving this goal."
