Philanthropic Phridays VI: Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation

Today's donation goes to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation:

So many of my friends, neighbours and extended family have been helped by this organization. April is cancer month, this is the last Philanthropic Phriday in April and while I've already received one of those donation-solicitation mail-outs from the Canadian Cancer Society complete with a tacky little plastic daffodil pin (I hope they're not wasting too much money on those), I really wanted my money to go to cancer treatment or research that would immediately benefit the Ottawa area.

Moreover, I know that donations are down this year and a lot of the traditional fundraising activities like race weekend will not be going ahead. The website provides some details of some of the other issues exacerbating the fight against cancer in a covid-19 world.

So not much more to say today. Just that there's every reason to hope cancer can be beaten, even during a pandemic!
