Dear Friend,
I’m reaching out today with some exciting news to share with you. Through our support of the Canadian Cancer Trials Group, the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) is funding the world’s first clinical trial to prevent severe COVID-19 infections in people with cancer and help them live longer, healthier lives.
This clinical trial holds life-changing potential. If successful, it could reduce symptoms and prevent severe cases of COVID-19 and other serious respiratory infections in people with cancer. And with results anticipated in a matter of months, this could be a glimmer of hope that people affected by cancer need right now.
Please help by making a donation to support this clinical trial and other important research. Your donation will also help provide a national support system, including our nationwide helpline and online community, that makes a real difference for people affected by cancer.
| | | Unfortunately, cancer doesn’t stop being a life-changing and life-threatening disease in the middle of a global health crisis. This year alone, more than 225,000 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer — which also increases their risk of more serious outcomes from COVID-19. Now more than ever, they need our support.
Only CCS enables a national support system and funds groundbreaking research like this promising clinical trial to reduce the threat of COVID-19 for people with cancer. Please donate now and together, we can make a real difference for people affected by cancer during the COVID-19 outbreak and beyond.
Thank you,
Dr Stuart Edmonds
