In Canada over 1,700 children are diagnosed with cancer each year. Although great strides in treatment and care have been made; childhood cancer is still the leading diseaserelated cause of death for kids in Canada. Over 80% of children survive cancer. However, more than 60% of survivors of childhood cancer face late effects of their disease and treatment, including neurocognitive impairments, sterility and secondary cancers.

Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation (CTCACF) raises money and awareness for families and children affected by cancer. Our mandate is to create high quality, physically challenging events on a national basis to raise needed funding for worthy cancer charities. In doing so, we want to inspire wellness and volunteerism within our communities, and create pride and a sense of purpose in everyone who participates in these events. We will provide support where the needs are greatest, including funding of oncology camps, community support programs, academic scholarships and other areas which contribute to inspiring hope and improved prognoses for children and their families impacted by cancer.

Thank you for helping to improve the quality of life for families and children living with and through cancer.

Donation Report

In 2011, Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation ('CTCACF') celebrated a truly amazing year, raising and distributing over $5,000,000 for deserving childhood cancer charities across Canada! We just couldn't have done this without you, our amazing sponsors, donors, volunteers, and participants.

Together this year, we have visited hundreds of communities across the country, engaged over 15,000 participants in our events, worked with hundreds of volunteers and processed over 75,000 individual donations. Together, we have collected millions of dollars for childhood cancer and distributed 100% of every single donation we raised to the cancer charities we support across Canada. Together, we have made a meaningful difference in the lives of thousands of children and their families living with and beyond cancer.
