Why we relay

To transform the future of cancer one collective stride at a time

With your support, we can:

Fund Canada’s most promising cancer research

More people are surviving cancer than ever before. Today, around 64% of Canadians diagnosed with cancer will survive at least 5 years after their diagnosis compared to 55% in the early 1990s.
