UFCW Canada is the LLSC's single largest supporter. Since 1985, 250,000 union members across Canada have rallied year after year to raise more than $36 million in the fight against blood cancers.
This vital partnership has contributed to many advancements in the treatment and outcomes of blood cancers:
The survival rate for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia is over 90%. 50 years ago, it was a mere 3%.
Many cancers can be managed by taking a daily pill.
Treatments for patients have become increasingly personalized and customized.
New therapies are less toxic and much safer, leading to higher survival rates and a better quality of life.
