Millions of dollars for research have been raised by uniting behind Fox’s vision. There’s still lots to do to make sure this research and its outcomes apply to all Canadians.
Dr. Nadine Caron is the first Canadian female general surgeon of First Nations descent, as well as the first female First Nations student to graduate from University of British Columbia’s medical school. She also co-leads the Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network’s Canadian Spectrum Working Group with Dr. Gina Ogilvie.That spring we had learned of a young cancer survivor running across Canada to raise awareness and funds for cancer research.
That day, as my friends and I faced the end of that magical summer, we were comforted by the feeling something had changed inside of us. Mr. Fox’s vision had united the country, showing us that we all have a role to play to make the world a better place. That is not happening in Canada today. Indigenous peoples, for example, show rapidly increasing incidence of cancer, and experience poorer cancer-related outcomes than non-Indigenous Canadians. Similarly, mortality from breast, colorectal, prostate and pancreatic cancers is higher in Black patients than in white patients.
