Helping families fight childhood cancer

What’s happening now at Kids Cancer Care

YOU ARE A LIFELINE FOR HOLLIS!

When Hollis was diagnosed with cancer in both eyes at just one year old, her family’s world changed overnight. Through months of treatment and uncertainty, Kids Cancer Care helped Hollis’s sisters connect with other siblings and gave the whole family a place to feel supported and less alone.

This holiday season, your generosity can make twice the difference for families like Hollis’s. Thanks to our generous matching donors, every donation received by December 1 will be doubled, helping more children and families find the care, connection and support they need when childhood cancer changes everything.

JANICE MCLEOD FUND

Honour Janice McLeod’s legacy of service and generosity by supporting the Janice McLeod Memorial Fund. The fund is established in her memory after 20 years of service to KCC and will help teens affected by cancer build confidence, develop leadership skills and form lifelong connections. Make a gift today.

HIGH HOPES CHALLENGE!

On Sept 12, Calgary business leaders took on a day-long challenge at Camp Kindle, guided by their kid coaches. They’re continuing to raise funds through the end of the year to support children and families affected by cancer. Donate today and support.

What our families are saying

Before cancer, I was reserved and timid, but now look at me! Look at what I have been through and what I know I can do. Kids Cancer Care is helping to shape the person I am today.

What our families are saying

Kids Cancer Care has given us another family, one who understands what we are going through, a support system for when we are tired. And it gives us a chance to give back too.

What our families are saying

Cancer is scary. It changes the way you look at the world and how you feel about yourself. By being with other kids like me, I felt a new normal and I feel like I have a place in this world again.
