You send a get well card to show someone facing cancer that you care. But what if you want to do more? What if you want to improve their care?

The COVID-19 pandemic strained our cancer care system, creating unprecedented backlogs and exposing its gaps and vulnerabilities. With nearly half of Canadians expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, it is crucial that the cancer care system get better.

Help inspire change as we call on governments to help us make cancer care better.

Create a Get Better card and share your story of the challenges you or your loved one faced with accessing cancer care. We’ll print your card, gather it with others and deliver them to elected officials to amplify our request that cancer care Get Better.
