Support looks different at every stage of the blood cancer experience.

That’s why we redesigned our Virtual Support Groups to bring people together based on shared experiences and support needs.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment, supporting a loved on or navigating a chronic or advanced blood cancer, our goal is to help you connect with people who understand what you’re going through.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
At the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada, we know the fear and confusion that follows the words no parent wants to hear:

“Your child has cancer.”

That's why we are working every day to help parents of children diagnosed with a blood cancer, by offering resources including educational videos like this one, explaining how chemotherapy works in a way a child can easily understand.

This September, we recognize Blood Cancer Awareness Month.
Did you know that every 17 minutes, someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer in Canada? And while each diagnosis is unique, they all have one thing in common: they change lives.

That’s why the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada works year-round to fund life-saving research, provide personalized support, and advocate for Canadians affected by blood cancers.

This month and every month, we are here to support Canadians and their loved ones who have been impacted by blood cancers, because no one should have to go through blood cancer alone.

What if something as personal as a tattoo could become part of something much bigger?

We have some exciting news. We’ve partnered with OTTAWA INK for a charity flash day! We’re inviting you to ‘Inked For Impact’ — a special event where art and community come together in support of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada.

Behind every dollar raised is a person, a family, and a story. Someone waiting for better treatment. Someone celebrating another year with the people they love. Someone facing a diagnosis they never expected.

Perhaps you’ve been thinking of a new tattoo to honour a loved one, to celebrate a milestone, to support a friend, or perhaps you’d like to be surrounded by some community support for your very first tattoo. Come out in support of the Ottawa blood cancer community and spend the day surrounded by good people doing something meaningful to support community. Herby and his team have created some beautiful designs and are generously supporting the LLSC with 80% of all tattoo proceeds (for this one-day event) going to the LLSC. Thank you, Ottawa Ink! We’ll have snacks, water, info about the LLSC, and perhaps even a few prizes.

If you have questions or would like to reserve your spot, please reach out to Herby, the owner of Ottawa Ink: www.ottawaink.com

Event Details:
Sunday, September 27th
928 Montreal Rd, Unit 4, 2nd floor
11am to 5pm

We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful community event— because when we come together, even a small act can make a really big impact.
