Our Vision A cure for every child, care for every family. A message from our leaders Dear friend, At the Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta (KCCFA), kids come first. And the families we meet each day shape our journey. Whether it’s at camp, in the lab or on the hospital ward, putting kids first clearly sets our path. The fight against childhood cancer is an arduous one but we believe that by reading the stories in this report, you’ll agree there is hope. There are so many inspiring stories. We trust that the ones we are sharing here demonstrate what is possible when a community cares. We know that many of you are inspired by families whose lives have been turned upside down by childhood cancer. Know that by caring and taking action you inspire these families to survive and thrive. We are proud of our accomplishments in 2006 but our success really belongs to the kids. And it belongs to you. Every step we make is made possible by people like you. Thank you for your support this year. Without your time, your dedication and your financial support, we might not have stories of hope to share. At the end of this report, you will find 10 ways you or a friend or a colleague can help. Please take a look. Whatever you do, however modest, you are making a difference in the lives of children with cancer. Although we have much to celebrate, there is still so much more to do for kids and families affected by cancer. And with your continued support, KCCFA will be well-poised to meet the changing demands of childhood cancer. Sincerely, Photography by Unique Perspectives Artistic Photography unless otherwise noted.
