Imagine yourself sitting on the porch of a cottage looking out at a beautiful Canadian sunrise that paints the sky orange, pink and purple. There is no noise aside from the sound of loons, a gentle breeze and waves splashing on the shore.
At The Princess Margaret, we believe there is nothing more hopeful than a sunrise, the dawning of a new day. Since opening its doors in 1958, the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre has been a global leader in cancer diagnostic, research and treatment – a beacon of light and hope for cancer patients and their loved ones.
Our world-first discoveries such as the discovery of stem cells, the cloning of the T-cell receptor and the pioneering of novel treatment protocols have changed the way cancer is treated across Canada and internationally.
However, despite many advances, cancer is still the number one cause of death in Canada and worldwide cases are on the rise, with a concerning increase in cancer cases in younger generations.
This is why The Princess Margaret is reigniting our commitment to transform cancer outcomes through a movement we call Carry The Fire.
Carry The Fire is a rallying cry for all Canadians. When you buy Princess Margaret Cottage Lottery tickets, you have a chance to win incredible prizes like the $2.8 Million Haliburton Lakefront Cottage, the $2.7 Million Kawartha Lakefront Cottage, $2.6 Million Muskoka Lakefront Cottage and so much more; but simply by purchasing a ticket, you are also supporting world-leading research that will provide brighter tomorrows for cancer patients everywhere.
There has never been a more critical time to support The Princess Margaret. We are at a pivotal moment and, with your help, we have a unique opportunity to light the way through discovery and change the way cancer is understood, diagnosed and treated.
On behalf of everyone at The Princess Margaret and the many cancer patients who will benefit from your support, thank you for helping us Carry The Fire for a world free from the fear of cancer.
Best,
Miyo
