Yesterday was World Cancer Day, which aims to raise awareness and share experiences, research findings, and the fight against the disease.

Cancer Care Manitoba was founded in 1999 to assist patients and their families and to prevent, treat, and conduct research.

The organization raises money through events and fundraisers to help fund things that treatment cannot, such as research, clinical trials, and physical and emotional support.
