World Cancer Day

You can Help Change the Lives of Manitobans This World Cancer Day:
February 4th

Cancer touches nearly every family in Manitoba. More than 7,600 Manitobans will be diagnosed with cancer this year. Despite these numbers, Manitobans with cancer are living longer and better lives due to the availability of new treatments and technologies thanks to the unwavering support of donors. You can help your family, neighbours, and community by supporting local cancer research on World Cancer Day: Wednesday, February 4.

For Neil, donor support of screening programs ensured his colon cancer was caught early, allowing him to receive minimal treatment. When years later he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, he knew he could count on donor supported research to influence his treatment plan. Neil received multiple rounds of chemotherapy. He responded well, and his leukemia went into remission—where it remains today.

Your support can lead to better outcomes and more tomorrows for Manitobans like Neil.

Please consider making a donation at www.cancercarefdn.mb.ca or by calling CancerCare Manitoba Foundation at 204-787-4143.
