Your donations positively impact people in your community every day. They could be your neighbours, friends and even your family members. We encourage you to read the stories of patients from right here in our province who have benefitted from the generosity of donors.
Morgan’s Story
A little over a year ago, Morgan was pursuing her master’s degree while working part-time. She was physically active, travelled often and loved spending time with her friends and family. Then, in the fall of 2024, she began to experience pain in her hip and legs that gradually worsened. Over the next couple of months, Morgan went through numerous tests and scans to find out what was causing her growing discomfort.
Mark’s Story
Mark has always been someone who stays active and engaged with life. In his 70s, he was healthy, energetic, and happiest when he was on the move—whether that meant golfing, curling, playing hockey, or going for walks with his wife, Rhonda. That changed in the summer of 2024.
Jason’s Story
Over the last two decades, Jason has experienced the deep uncertainty of a cancer journey but also moments of incredible hope. Today, as he looks ahead to his wedding this summer, he is filled with excitement and is grateful to donors for supporting life-saving cancer research.
Josiah’s Story
After Josiah was born, Susan and Pierre dreamed of watching their son Josiah grow, play and laugh like every child should. They never imagined that before his fourth birthday, he would be fighting for his life. Less than a year ago their lives changed unthinkably when Josiah was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, an aggressive type of blood cancer. They were terrified. They’re sharing Josiah’s story as a powerful reminder of continued support is needed.
Norm’s Story
When Norm began participating in CancerCare Manitoba Foundation’s Challenge for Life in 2008, he didn’t have a personal connection to cancer. Back then, he found it was a great way to help others while connecting with peers and community. That changed in 2020, when Norm was diagnosed with leukemia.
