On behalf of Melanoma Canada’s (formerly, Melanoma Network of Canada) patient community, thank you for your gift in 2021. Your support allowed us to continue to provide psycho-social, and emotional support services for patients and caregivers facing melanoma and skin cancer. It also allowed us to continue to develop leading education resources for patients, caregivers, and physicians; deliver crucial awareness programs, and help advance treatment and care.
Unfortunately, the pandemic continued to impact how Canadians face a skin cancer diagnosis. It had and continues to have negative impacts on patients that often already face difficulty accessing timely care – leading to increased anxiety and the potential for missed or delayed treatment. Your gift helped us to provide hope and invaluable resources to our community and we couldn’t be more grateful. Learn more about the impact you’ve had on our community – Read our 2021 Impact report,
Kind regards,
