Stories of Hope

“Bladder Cancer Canada showed me I am not alone, simply by being there – any time I needed information, I was able to get it, including peer support. Bladder Cancer Canada is an important resource, completely dedicated to helping all those suffering from or supporting someone with bladder cancer, a disease that not many like to talk about willingly.”

– Blair, Bladder Cancer Survivor & Peer Support Volunteer

“Raising funds for Bladder Cancer Canada has become our family’s tradition. It is our way of giving back and ensuring that other families receive the same level of support that we did.”

– Myra, Bladder Cancer Caregiver (Read Myra’s Full story here.)

Your Impact in 2024

Here are just a few things we were able to accomplish this year, all because of you:

Bladder Cancer Canada fueled innovative research, contributing to over $3.1 million since 2012.
We released new financial resources including a Disability Tax Credit Guide for Medical Professionals.
We completed the new Healthy Living Guidebook to be released in the new year.
We hosted 18 webinars and two in-person Bladder Cancer Education Events, bringing the community together to share resources.
We have enhanced the user experience on our website, adding additional graphics and intuitive architecture.
We launched a French-speaking Ostomy Support Group, and have enhanced our focus on Francophone programming.

Help Support Early Detection for Patients Across Canada!

On December 3rd, we invite you to join us for #GivingTuesday, the world’s largest generosity movement, as we enhance our programming for all patients across Canada with a new resource.

Imagine experiencing a major bladder cancer symptom, but not knowing what it could signal.

Blood in the urine is the most common symptom of bladder cancer but is often misdiagnosed, resulting in more advanced diagnoses and delayed treatment. The importance of early detection and treatment can be lifesaving.

That is why, this #GivingTuesday we have set a goal of raising $15,000 to help fund the creation of a new Hematuria Education Resource to increase awareness of blood in the urine (hematuria).

It is about more than just an early diagnosis; it is about the ripple effect, including the treatment options and improved patient outcomes that follow.

“I was snowshoeing with a friend in the woods when I saw red for the first time. I was not familiar with bladder cancer but coincidentally I had seen the “See Red” ad a few months before my first symptoms.”

– Eddie, Bladder Cancer Survivor

With your help, patients experiencing blood in the urine will be better equipped to advocate for bladder cancer testing, and more cases will be caught and treated earlier.
