British Columbia Childhood Cancer Parents’ Association

The BCCCPA ia a registered non-profit charitable society whose mission is to help families who have children with cancer who are struggling financially by providing them with aid through the Family Financial Aid Program. Each year in BC, approximately 150 children are diagnosed with a life-threatening cancer and 350 are on treatment at any given time. Many childhood cancers are being cured, yet we still lose many children. Despite the extreme diversity of facing an uncertain future and often an uncomfortable and debilitating therapy, these children are an inspiration of hope and courage. They bring smiles to people’s faces and beauty into the world.
