Terry Fox will be featured on the new $5 bill. He will replace Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who will now appear on the next version of the $50 bill.
Something I think all Canadians will agree is a good thing, honouring a young man who represented the best of us.

We know that precision oncology can greatly benefit patients who receive it. But how do we *really* know?

Quality indicators specific to precision oncology are rare, and the ones that do exist don’t tend to consider crucial aspects like equity of access and quality of life. 1/3

Cancer patients, survivors and caregivers know what the current gaps are in precision oncology.

That's why the @MarathonofHope's Patient Working Group is launching a funding initiative worth $1M for researchers to explore gaps id'ed by patients and find innovative solutions.
