You can be part of the solution. Help fund discoveries at the Paul Albrechtsen Research Institute CancerCare Manitoba.
This GivingTuesday iA Financial will generously match all donations up to $50,000.
Liquid nitrogen and carbon dioxide are two key resources necessary in all labs at Paul Albrechtsen Research Institute CancerCare Manitoba. These substances facilitate the study of cells needed to discover new treatments for some of the hardest-to-treat and most prevalent cancers.
Manitobans with cancer need your help.
By donating today, you will help secure regular supplies of liquid nitrogen and carbon dioxide in cancer researchers’ labs. Liquid nitrogen preserves the cells they need to advance cancer research. Carbon dioxide allows them to grow the preserved cells in order to answer their questions, and ultimately improve care for Manitobans.
Your investment will provide Manitobans like Danica with more tomorrows with their loved ones.
Danica knows the cruel reality of a cancer diagnosis and the uncertainty it brings all too well. Her world was turned upside down in the spring of 2020 when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
“I felt a lump on my collarbone,” remembers Danica. “An x-ray showed a tumour across my chest which caused my lung to collapse. The doctor told me the unthinkable … I had cancer.”
Danica is grateful for the treatment she received and is grateful to donors for their ongoing support of local research.
“The science behind my treatment … it wouldn’t have been possible without your donations,” says Danica. “Every donation you make on Giving Tuesday helps people like me. Truly, thank you isn’t enough to express my appreciation.”
