All of our lives have unfortunately been touched by cancer somehow. Cancer research and funding initatives have come a long way, but there is much further to go - and that requires funding. Relay for Life is responsible for many wonderful changes and advancements. A few of these include:

- Investing $50.1 million to high impact research and innovation such as enhancing treatment and quality of life, enabling 131 clinical trials, advancing cancer prevention research, improving early diagnosis, advancing equitable and timely access to cancer prevention and care, as well as addtional investments

- Supporting 174 talented lead researchers

- Providing reliable information to 16.2 million site visitors

- Led 29 policy changes to shape a healthier society

- Provided 5200+ stays in CCS Lodges

- Helped over 30,000+ people with cancer-related inquiries

To access more information about the changes and goals of Relay for Life, please visit https://cancer.ca/en/about-us/impact-report and see the impact for yourself.With nearly half of Canadians expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, our team is more determined than ever to help change the future of this disease. Our families and friends could be affected. And that makes it personal to all of us. 

Please help us reach our fundraising goal for Relay For Life.  It doesn’t matter how small the step, it makes a difference. Not only for those living with cancer now, but for those remembering and honouring those we’ve lost. A donation of $25, $50 or $100 could help make sure a team of researchers has the resources they need to make a life-saving discovery or a patient has access to support services when they need it most. 

Think about the impact we can make together!
