E329 - Current & Critical - Wendy Beauchesne, Alberta Cancer Foundation - Making More Moments that Matter for Cancer Patients
“The world’s top cancer centres are not bricks and mortar. They’re hubs for discovery and innovation.”
A cancer diagnosis can make time stand still - and the fight against it is emotionally and physically taxing. However, cancer can also be financially burdensome - often costing thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket expenses, such as lost time at work or hospital parking costs during treatment. Wendy explains how the Alberta Cancer Foundation taps into the philanthropic spirit of Alberta to deliver $1.5M to offset these burdens, while also investing donations into accelerating innovative cancer treatments. This inspiring episode will show you there is no limit to what we can achieve through collaboration, generosity and an innovative approach.
