Home My WebLink AboutThe Huron Expositor, 1996-04-03, Page 66 -THE MINION EXPOSITOR, AprU 0, 1•116 Local April is Cancer month Canadian Cancer Society volunteers will be knocking on doors in Seaforth this month to ask for donations for research. April is cancer month. Unlike previous years when canvassers went on a one-night blitz, this year vol- unteers will be visiting hous- es in the Seaforth arca throughout the month. Last year, almost $15,000 was raised in the Seaforth arca during the one-night campaign. "This year we are trying to call on as many people as possible, so please open your door when one of our volun- teers knocks," says Bev Jackson, chair of the province's fundraising com- mittee. Donations raised by the Canadian Cancer Society are used to educate the public about prevention and early detection of cancer, provide services to people living with cancer and their families, and fund cancer research. The society also fights cancer through its lobbying efforts. "Research has uncovered a lot about cancer, but we need to learn more if we want to win the battle," says Jackson. A recent example of good news in research is the dis- covery of a drug that stops the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells which could lead to effective treatment for leukemia, the most common form of cancer in children. Funds from the Canadian Cancer Society supported this vital research by Dr. Chaim Roifman and his asso- ciates at the Hospital for Sick Children. According to 1994 figures from the Canadian Cancer Society, over a five year peri- od, 46 per cent of donations were used for research, 22 per cent for patient services, 19 per cern for health promo- tion, seven per cent for fundraising and six per cent for administration. One in three Canadians will develop some form of cancer during his or her lifetime.
