Your Impact
Leap magazine.
Leap magazine is the Alberta Cancer Foundation’s biannual publication that demonstrates how, in partnership with the brightest minds in health care, we are making a difference for Albertans, and their families, facing cancer.
Page to page, we highlight inspirational Albertans touched by cancer and the world class innovations in research, treatment and care that our donors make possible right here in our province. Leap magazine features real people sharing real stories that reflect the urgency of our work and the impact we are making, together.

As cancer care evolves, so, too, do the careers of Alberta’s dedicated health-care professionals.
