BLADDER CANCER CANADA AWARENESS WALK

The walk is one of Bladder Cancer Canada’s (BCC) main sources of funding, but also serves as a vehicle to spread awareness and as a venue to bring those affected by bladder cancer together for a common cause.

The 2018 Walk is now over but the walk website www.bccwalk.ca will continue to accept donations until the end of the year. Please stay tuned for the final results of this year’s walk.

September 22, 2019 is the confirmed date for this year’s walk in most communities across the country (dates may vary in some locations).
