Myeloma Canada is a registered non-profit organization, created in 2005 by and for people living with multiple myeloma.
One of the challenges facing the myeloma patient community is the general lack of awareness of this relatively rare cancer. Consequently, many patients are not well-informed about the resources that are available to them and often feel alone in their battle.
To address this concern, Myeloma Canada, a non-profit entity with charitable organization status, was created in 2005 by and for people living with multiple myeloma to:
- Provide educational resources and emotional support to patients, families and caregivers
- Increase awareness of the disease and its effects on the lives of patients and families
- Promote clinical research and access to new drug trials in Canada and
- Facilitate access to new therapies, treatment options and health care resources
As a patient-driven, patient-focused organization, Myeloma Canada works with over a dozen local support groups across Canada, strengthening the voice of the Canadian myeloma community and improving the quality of life of myeloma patients, their caregivers and families.
Myeloma Canada is the only national organization that is uniquely devoted to the Canadian myeloma community. Our affiliation with the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF), the world’s oldest and largest myeloma patient organization, enables access to a global network of expertise and resources.

Save Your Skin Foundation (SYSF) is a national patient-led not-for-profit group dedicated to the fight against non-melanoma skin cancers, melanoma and ocular melanoma through nationwide education, advocacy, and awareness initiatives. Save Your Skin Foundation is committed to playing an active role in reducing the incidence of skin cancer in Canada, and to providing compassionate support for all Canadians living with skin cancers. SYSF was founded by North Vancouver resident and melanoma survivor Kathleen Barnard. In 2003, Kathleen was diagnosed with stage IV malignant melanoma, and by the time Save Your Skin Foundation was established in 2006, Kathleen’s cancer had spread to her vital organs and her treatment options were limited. Fortunately, one of her sons discovered a trial treatment taking place in Alberta; this trial would save Kathleen’s life. While her cancer treatments have finished, the battle with melanoma is not over for Kathleen. Save Your Skin Foundation is committed to ensuring equal, timely, affordable, and appropriate access to skin cancer treatment for all Canadians, by engaging in public and private industry, health policy, and systemic treatment access issues with cancer agencies, government, and drug-approval bodies across the country.

Talking about your balls is always a bit embarrassing. That is probably why testicular cancer remains relatively unknown. This type of cancer could be easily treated if people talked about it a bit more, if we got rid of the taboo, increased awareness, provided more information, and if support was provided to the men who do have it. Our mission covers all those elements.
Testicular Cancer Canada is the only organization in Canada that aims to increase public awareness and that provides support to the men who have testicular cancer.

Emotional support
Thyroid cancer treatment is different than other cancers. Often our patients are not treated in cancer centres, and do not have access to the same psychological and emotional support as other cancer patients. We hope this website provides you with some peer support, hope and encouragement.
Understanding complex information

Patients and their doctors face more choices that ever before, and then the information needed to make decisions can change from source to source.
