This is going to really help me get through this year of university." ~ Ethan, 2022 Childcan Bursary recipient.

#CauseCaringCounts It’s Tuesday. Claire’s Mom has been dreading Tuesday for a while.  It’s time to take Claire to the hospital to have her port accessed. The port is under the skin, so it’s very painful.  Before leaving home, Claire’s Mom rubs Emla cream on the area where she knows it will hurt. The Emla will help dull some of the pain. Anything to make it easier for Claire.  There are so many things for parents to worry about on the childhood cancer journey. With your help, Childcan can reduce some of the burden.
