Randy Thompson's cancer journey has been long and winding, but throughout it one thing has become clear: the future of cancer therapy lies in personalizing treatments to the realities of each patient.
Now, he's on a mission to make that future a reality.

The courage to start something and the continued courage to follow through. Everyone needs inspiration and so many have found that in Terry Fox and his incredible legacy. Truthfully this video made me cry. We all know someone whose lives have been touched by cancer and how we need to come together to #EndIt

It’s truly inspiring to see pan-Canadian research teams receiving funding for projects that patients themselves have identified as critical gaps—especially when patients also play a central role in the funding selection process.
This is patient-centered innovation in action.
Congratulations to all funded research teams!
#TeamCanadaOfResearch #EndCancerAsWeKnowIt
📣 NEW FUNDING ANNOUNCEMENT 📣
A year ago, members of our Patient Working Group met with Network researchers and oncologists in Halifax.
At that meeting it became clear that people with lived cancer experience knew of gaps in cancer research that no one else knew existed. (1/3)
