Breakthroughs like this are only possible thanks to donor support. You are helping fuel the research and innovation that is shaping the future of cancer care.

Everything changed when I arrived at the Baker Centre for Pancreatic Cancer. From the moment I met Dr. Stephen Welch, I felt heard.

For over a year, “Betty” followed Annette Desjardins everywhere. It started with exhaustion, bloating and pain, eventually leading to a stage four ovarian cancer diagnosis.

At London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC), Dr. Akira Sugimoto guided her through her treatment options, from chemotherapy to major surgery. Annette remains grateful to Dr. Sugimoto and her entire care team for making her feel like she was the only one there.

Today, she is cancer-free and appreciating the little things. She recently partnered with A1 Chiropractic Health & Wellness Exeter to organize Spin for a Cause, raising funds for ovarian cancer research.

Last February, I learned that I had breast cancer and my life changed instantly.

During treatment, I found unexpected comfort in painting and inspiration in a service dog I met along the way. I was also deeply grateful for the incredible care I received at the Verspeeten Family Cancer Centre (VFCC) and the support of family and friends. This led me to think of ways I could help others and give back. I started selling cards featuring my watercolour paintings, with a portion of the proceeds going to the VFCC.
