Julia's Story

When Julia first turned to The Ottawa Cancer Foundation, it was to find strength as a young caregiver supporting her mother through late-stage ovarian cancer. This past year, when she faced her own cancer diagnosis as a young mother, she once again found comfort, guidance, and community through our programs.

Julia’s journey reflects what so many families in our community experience – the ripple effect of cancer that touches every part of life. Donor support makes it possible for people like Julia to find hope, stability, and compassion when they need it most.

30 YEARS OF CHANGING CANCER JOURNEYS

From mental health support to cancer system navigation and peer groups at the Community Cancer Hub, Julia has leaned on these vital services to help her and her family cope with the fear, complexity, and emotional weight of cancer.
