We received thanks from another rural Manitoban when we assisted them with their travel expenses. The cost of travel to the nearest cancer treatment centre can add up quickly, eating into pensions, savings and sick leave payments. This person was so grateful that they could drive to treatment and not worry about the cost of gas. Their message to others was to not give up hope!

In this season of giving, please consider giving to Cancer Crossing so that we can help more Manitobans with cancer. Cancer Crossing is now a Canadian registered charity. Your donation will receive a tax receipt which helps you offset your giving. Go to https://c

Cancer Crossing helps woman with breast cancer

 We at Cancer Crossing are pleased to help a Manitoban from the western part of the province. She is in her 70s and has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. She travels to Brandon for radiation and is staying there during the treatment, going home on weekends. Previously she made trips to Brandon for tests and scans. Since she and her husband are on CPP and OAS they have asked for financial help which we were glad to give. We wish her all the best for a return to good health!

Cancer Crossing assists with long distance travel

 Cancer Crossing has been able to assist a man in his 60s, undergoing treatment for rectal cancer. He lives in a small town near Lake Winnipeg. He is on EI sick benefits while he gets chemotherapy and radiation in Winnipeg. His partner is disabled and cannot work. You can imagine the financial pinch they find themselves in as they pay for long distance travel and are on decreased income. Luckily their cancer social worker reached out on their behalf. Thanks to the generosity of Manitobans we are able to assist. In this season of giving please consider making a donation to Cancer Crossing so we can continue to do this valuable work. Cancer Crossing is now a registered charity and we are able to give tax receipts for your donations.

First Trivia Night fun

 On November 7th, Cancer Crossing had it's first ever Trivia Night fundraiser. It was a sell out! Lots of fun was had as teams competed for bragging rights and a few prizes. There was a silent auction with great prize baskets. Calabria Pizza kept us fed with yummy pizzas and salad and cake. Today we are posting all the photos to prove it!

Thanks to your enthusiasm, this is only the FIRST trivia night, we are going to have another in the future. Thanks for helping us sell out and for your generous support of Cancer Crossing. A huge thank you to our sponsors as well.

Thank you Cancer Crossing!

 What a heartfelt thank you we received! A recipient wrote that Cancer Crossing's support gave him both emotional and financial support. The monetary gift made him feel valued and seen at a very difficult time and was enough money to pay for five round trips to treatment, which made a huge difference for him.

His advice to others was to remain positive, to speak openly and honestly with doctors and said that there are no stupid questions.

He also felt supported by the positive and kind interactions he had with all staff at Cancer Care. He said the professionalism, kindness, support and compassion from everyone from the receptionists, to nurses, techs, and doctors made the cancer treatment easier to bear.

We are glad to read such a positive report, despite all he has gone through, and he ended his comments with a BIG thank you.

As we enter the holiday season, please consider helping support Manitobans with cancer by donating at https://cancercrossing.com/ Your donation is tax deductible as we are now a registered charity.
