Join me and make a difference in childhood cancer!

Life is filled with challenges. Some challenges are more than we should be forced to handle.  Jackie lost her battle with brain cancer at the tender age of 17 in 2023. She lived life to the fullest, and touched many lives. Now it is our turn to face a challenge head on (in her honor) and help others like Jackie battle cancer, and support the doctors and scientists that work tirelessly to find a cure and conquer this terrible disease. We have chosen to support the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO) who works to support families with a child diagnosed with cancer deal with the most difficult challenge they will face. We humbly ask that you help us help them and make a donation in Jackie's honor. Thank you. Life is precious. 

Description


There are over 4,300 families in Ontario with a child in cancer treatment or follow-up care each year. More than 80% of children diagnosed with cancer in Ontario will survive, but many of these survivors will experience complications either due to the disease itself, complex surgical procedures, or the rigorous rounds of radiation and chemotherapy they were given during treatment.
 
Funds raised will provide:

  • financial assistance to families so they can pay for out-of-pocket costs associated with their child’s treatment
  • support survivors with customized school and work counselling when their disease or its treatment has left them with learning challenges
  • fund promising research that examines the impact of childhood cancer and its treatment.


Meet the Wynette’s and learn how they were supported by POGO through their childhood cancer journey. 
 



Thank you for your support!
