Where hope is made possible.

1 in 2 Albertans will face cancer in their lifetime. Through advancements in research and care, we are helping Albertans facing cancer experience more of life’s moments. This holiday season, give what matters most — more time.

"I know firsthand that funding cancer research gives people more time with their loved ones."

"It changes your perspective on life. You make the most of your time now and control what you can."

"This clinical trial means I have more time with my family.
It gives me hope that I can live to be a little older than I am now."

"I talk to my children and I spend time with my wife... Each day, I get to do something that gives me joy."

"My Granddaughter helped me ring the bell. She was 15 months old, and at the time, I was 3 years past my terminal prognosis."

“TIME IS EVERYTHING.”

"Every story is different, every journey is different. I was lucky to get a second chance at life."

"I am enjoying watching my 2 grandchildren grow. My 'normal' is different than it was, but there is so much to celebrate."

"They gave my Dad time. He got to meet my daughter. We had time together, and that is the most important thing."

"I’m excited for what the future holds and I hope to connect with other survivors. My job now and forever is to advocate for those who cannot."

"Life took an unexpected turn when I received a cancer diagnosis. Now, I find myself receiving treatments that are giving me precious extra time."

Your stories inspire hope. Whether a special moment shared or a moment in time you will never forget. You never know whose life you could change simply by opening up about your own. At the Alberta Cancer Foundation, we believe 
no one should have to face cancer alone.
