"Hello,

My name is Ben, and I am a research assistant with the Cancer Rehabilitation Clinic of the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Alberta.

We are conducting a research study titled Rehabilitation and Exercise in Advanced Cancer Health (REACH) that aims to understand the experiences of individuals living with advanced cancer, as well as their needs related to rehabilitation and exercise support. We are seeking individuals in Canada diagnosed with advanced or metastatic cancer to participate in an anonymous online survey, which is offered in both English and French. The study has been approved by the Health Research Ethics Board of Alberta (Ethics ID: HREBA CC-24-012).

We would greatly appreciate it if you could share the study information within your networks. I have attached the study posters and materials. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to the study lead, Dr. Shirin Shallwani (sshallwa@ualberta.ca). I appreciate your consideration.

Thanks,

Ben Spilak, MMgmt, BSc | he/him
