Give today and help support cancer patients and their loved ones, like Pat and Denise 🧡

"My wife, Denise, was first diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2018. She successfully underwent surgery followed by six months of chemotherapy. Sadly, in September 2020, her cancer metastasized and was found in her spine and lungs, and the metastases were deemed inoperable. Denise battled through three years of treatment, completing more than 80 rounds of chemotherapy along with other biological treatments.

During Denise’s long cancer journey, I was looking for help navigating everything we were facing and was fortunate to learn about InspireHealth through online searches.

We met regularly with a Supportive Care Physician, who became an important source of guidance and support. These visits helped us better understand the medical system, explore supportive and complementary approaches, and navigate difficult decisions.

We also met with other experts at InspireHealth who provided support with nutrition, physical therapy, meditation, and counselling. More specifically, we worked with the nutrition team to explore different dietary approaches, and developed a program with the exercise team helping her keep her body as strong as possible, during her many treatments.

Denise passed away August 9th, 2024 after bravely and courageously fighting for 5 years. She lived each day during this battle with so much love, even though the journey was incredibly hard.

Having the care, guidance, advocacy, and knowledge of the team at InspireHealth gave me confidence and reassurance as we faced many complex and difficult decisions that needed to be made throughout Denise’s battle."

A huge congratulations to our CEO, Loveena Chera-Tsaparas, on receiving the Community Champion Award at The Times Of Canada’s IGNITE 2026 Women’s Empowerment Gala.

"This recognition reflects the incredible work being done to support individuals and families navigating cancer and the power of community in healing. We believe that care should support not just the body but the mind and spirit as well. Together, we continue to build a future where no one faces cancer alone."

Congratulations to all the inspiring award winners!
