Our Mission
The Childhood Cancer Family Support Society - CCFSupport (formerly the BC Childhood Cancer Parent's Association - BCCCPA) is a registered non-profit charitable society whose mission is to help families from all corners of the province who have children with cancer and who are struggling financially by providing them with financial aid & support.
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 adversity 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 peoples' faces and beauty into the world.
Sincerely,
Dr. Paul Rogers, MB,
