Young Adult Cancer Canada: Update on fundraising efforts; upcoming 6th annual survivor's conference

Young Adult Cancer Canada (YACC) has been heavily involved in several fundraising events in Newfoundland and Labrador this summer, all in an effort to increase awareness of young adults across Canada afflicted with cancer. From a charity golf tournament to a memorial walk to participation in the 194th Royal St. John's Regatta, nearly $40,000 was raised to support the YACC.

In addition, the YACC is pleased to announce the first confirmed speaker for the 6th Annual Survivor Conference in Toronto (November 1-5, 2012).  Dr. Anne Katz wil speak on "providing information, education, and counseling to people with cancer and their partners about sexual changes that can occur during and after treatment."
