VHL Canada is an active support network for and by Canadian VHL patients and their families. Started in 2016 to fill a gap, we're a small registered charitable group that is run by volunteers including a permanent professional-level national Peer Support Volunteer.
VHL "is a rare genetic disease characterized by the growth of both benign and cancerous tumours in several parts of the body... It is not only a medical journey, VHL has logistical and emotional impacts on the lives of both the patients and everyone around them..." More
VHL can reoccur throughout someone's lifetime and can start in childhood. "The mean age of onset is 26 years and 97% of people with a VHL gene mutation have symptoms by the age of 65. VHL disease affects males and females and all ethnic groups equally, and occurs in all parts of the world..." -NORD
There are 900+ people with VHL in Canada (1/36,000 estimate)
A gift of any amount will help us sustain essential services for VHL patients as well as their families.
