Ride somewhere meaningful, July 11 to 13, in the Kids Cancer Care Ride of Courage. Choose from one, two, or 3-day ride options. You can also ride on your own with our Flex Ride. This is YOUR ride. YOUR way. For the kids!
Kids Cancer Care has embarked on a construction project to enhance outdoor and indoor programming space for children at Camp Kindle. YOUR gift can make camp more magical and accessible for kids.
If your child is newly diagnosed or returning to school during or after cancer treatments, we can help. Our Cancer in the Classroom program helps build understanding and empathy in classmates, so your child’s school experience is positive.
Our hospital programs help Alberta children receive the care they need right here in Alberta, so families don’t need to leave the province and their support system when they need it most.
With your help, we continue to realize our mission of helping young people and their families survive and thrive in body, mind and spirit.

What our families are saying
Before cancer, I was reserved and timid, but now look at me! Look at what I have been through and what I know I can do. Kids Cancer Care is helping to shape the person I am today.

What our families are saying
Kids Cancer Care has given us another family, one who understands what we are going through, a support system for when we are tired. And it gives us a chance to give back too.

What our families are saying
Cancer is scary. It changes the way you look at the world and how you feel about yourself. By being with other kids like me, I felt a new normal and I feel like I have a place in this world again.
