For over 16 years, the Myeloma Walk of Champions has played a crucial role in raising funds for multiple myeloma clinical trials and research at the Verspeeten Family Cancer Centre.

What began as a local initiative has grown into a significant force for change—raising over $1 million to date in support of life-saving research.

Every year, 3,000 Canadians are diagnosed with ovarian cancer—a disease that remains difficult to detect early and challenging to treat effectively.

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, and thanks to community event London Run For Ovarian Cancer (RFOC) and generous donor support, we’re driving research forward to improve early detection, prevention and treatment.

Since 2003, RFOC has raised over $3 million to honour those we’ve lost, support those currently fighting and help accelerate the search for a cure.

In her early 50s, Kim started noticing changes. "She would be out walking the dog in our neighbourhood, where we have lived for more than a decade, and suddenly, she wouldn't know where she was," recalls her daughter, Natalie.

After being referred to Dr. Elizabeth Finger, a neurologist and lead researcher for the Dale E. Creighton Brain & Biobank (DECBB) at London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC), Kim was diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer's. What followed was a courageous journey, as she remained committed to helping other patients even as she battled the disease.

Your help is needed to support world-leading research at the DECBB. And today, thanks to the Creighton family's generosity, your gift will be matched -- up to $50,000!

Pancreatic cancer is often called “where drugs go to die” because of the immense challenges in treating this aggressive disease. But five years ago, donors embarked on a mission to change that. Their vision and generosity enabled the creation of the Baker Centre for Pancreatic Cancer (Baker Centre)—where patients can access novel treatments and support, while researchers work tirelessly to discover new solutions.

After noticing a hard lump in her breast, Aurilla Ripley underwent a series of tests and was diagnosed with breast cancer. However, concerned about persistent fatigue, she urged her doctors to check her heart before starting cancer treatment. Tests revealed a genetic condition, affecting her heart’s ability to beat properly.

Today, Aurilla's heart health is much improved and she is cancer-free. She is grateful for the support of her medical team, family and faith.
