Founded in 1982, Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation (PMCF) raises funds to support research, patient care, and capital upgrades at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (PMCC). Part of the University Health Network (UHN) in Toronto, the center treats over 200 types of cancer and receives around 250,000 clinic visits each year. We are proud of our top 5 global position. The funds raised by the Foundation through our community of supporters helps us maintain this position and advance fundamental cancer discoveries and translation of these findings into the clinics. We also have Canada’s largest clinical trials program funded primarily through foundation grants.

I interviewed my dad on video in his final weeks. When I asked about his work and finding meaning through helping others, he responded, “I don’t think you can be focused on, ‘Oh gee, I want to make a difference.’ It has to be spontaneous. If it’s not…there’s some kind of egotistical thing going on. That’s a red flag. You hope you impact people on the deepest level you are capable of at the time. Sometimes you hit it, sometimes you don’t. You’re trying.
