Every Journey has the potential to help save a life.

Each step we take helps transform the way we look at cancer here in Ontario, across Canada, and around the world. The funds raised directly support over 1,600 researchers and research staff at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre who show up each day and push the boundaries of cancer care.  

In fact, The Princess Margaret is home to several hundred “world-firsts” in cancer research thanks to your hardworking fundraising dollars.

Here are some of The Princess Margaret’s greatest breakthroughs:

  • We revolutionized the world’s understanding of cancer.

  • We pioneered immunotherapy, a less toxic alternative to chemotherapy.

  • We developed a blood test with the potential to change how cancer is detected.

  • We are home to one of the world’s largest clinical trials programs.

  • Hodgkin Lymphoma used to be a death sentence. Then we discovered it was curable.

  • We save lives by finding new connections.

  • We find what can’t be seen.

  • Cancer is relentless. So is our pursuit of a cure.

  • We’re using A.I. to make real progress.
