Cause
Bluewater Health’s Cancer Clinic is currently undergoing a major redevelopment to better serve Sarnia-Lambton’s patients, including people like Janice.
When Janice was diagnosed with triple-positive hormonal breast cancer in January 2023, everything she knew about her life changed in an instant. By March, she was beginning her first chemotherapy session, terrified of what might lie ahead. But the moment she walked into Bluewater Health's cancer clinic, she was greeted with a sense of calm.
Today, Janice is cancer free, enjoying her yoga practice and traveling the world.
When you purchase Spring 50/50 tickets, you are helping to ensure that patients receive the care they need, when they need it most. Janice is living proof that your contribution changes lives.
