Young Adult Cancer Canada

https://www.youngadultcancer.ca/

Following in Eric’s footsteps, I wanted to continue with a DIY campaign that brings awareness to a national charity based out of St.Johns Newfoundland.

Cancer affects everyone. When I read the stories, and consider of all of the opportunities that we take for granted it stops me in my tracks.

I want to give what I can with my talents and with your financial support we can have an opportunity to support this cause.

If you take a moment to read only one story you will realize just how fortunate you really are.

PLEASE SEND RECEIPT OF YOUR DONATION TO adrian.mottram@gmail.com with what service you would like from me! Space is currently limited to 10 spots!

About the Charity

YACC research revealed that over 8,000 young adults were diagnosed in Canada each year, that their survival rates were virtually unchanged since the 1970s, and–most importantly–there were no readily-available and relevant support programs to help young adults with cancer deal with the very unique issues they face.

Life is different in your teens, 20s and 30s; it just makes sense it’s different with cancer, too.

Young adults with cancer need and deserve an organization wholly focused on providing customized support programs to help them deal with their cancer experience. Given there was not one organization in Canada with this as its focus the vision was obvious: YACC had to be that national cancer organization providing resources for young adults looking for inspiration, information and support.

Their mission is to support young adults living with, through, and beyond cancer. To be the connection to peers, bridge out of isolation, and source of inspiration. Every cancer, every stage, YACC’s got your back.
