February 15th is World Cholangiocarcinoma Day! Please join us on The Esplanade Riel bridge at 6:30pm to celebrate. The bridge will be lit green in honor of this special day!  

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), bile duct cancer, is a rare and agressive cancer. There are no screening tools and the treatment options are limited and often ineffective. Precision oncology changes the landscape for patients with such cancers. Access to molecular testing, targeted drug therapies, and clinical trials here in Manitoba has the potential to offer patients less invasive treatments, less adverse side effects, and, most importantly, HOPE!

Lightit#GreenforCCA is an event to raise awareness of CCA and support patients and their families - working to ensure that patients with rare cancers in Manitoba have access to precision oncology. CancerCare Manitoba Foundation is the only organization exclusively fundraising for CancerCare Manitoba. While CancerCare Manitoba works in partnership with Manitoba Health, some programs and services may not be eligible for government funding. CancerCare Manitoba Foundation raises funds to bridge this gap and help deliver the best research, patient care, treatment and support for all Manitobans and their families living with cancer. 

Each year more than 6,000 Manitobans receive a cancer diagnosis.  Your continued support helps CancerCare Manitoba and its partners prepare for an estimated 50% increase in the number of people diagnosed and living with cancer over the next decade. 

By supporting me with a donation, you are helping to support CancerCare Manitoba in its work to change lives and change the course of cancer in our province.  

Every donation -no matter how big or small- is critical as we work together to stay ahead of this disease.

Thank you for your consideration.
