Did you know that The Ottawa Hospital Foundation (OHF) fuels world-class cancer research through donor support, achieving breakthroughs in immunotherapy, cell therapy, and clinical trials. Key achievements include pioneering made-in-Canada CAR-T cell therapy, made directly of cells and viruses. This and other groundbreaking immunotherapies, developed by the OHF, are pushing the boundaries of medicine and transforming patient care.
This shows that funds raised by the BCA over all these years has made a difference! Join us this September 12th for the annual 2026 BCA Cancer Chase to say that you helped the OHF beat cancer. You can contribute through registering for the chase or by donating.
Registration can be done online at: tohf.crowdchange. co/59796. If you have more questions, send an email to cancerchase@blackburnhamlet.ca.
At 8:15 the doors of the Blackburn Community Hall at 190 Glen Park Drive, will open to confirm your registration or register right there with the Ottawa Hospital Foundation representatives. There will be a stretch for everyone right before the walk/run of the 5km route through the Hamlet at 9:15.
All ages and fitness levels are welcome: invite your friends, family and neighbours for a morning filled with movement, connection and community spirit.
Bring Loonies and Toonies for taping to the Loonie Toonie Line. Let’s see how long we can make it! Bring any means of paying for what you bid for in the Silent Auction and have your camera ready for the Selfie Stations with costumes – smiles that could be shared in your social media or the November BANAR.
Let’s come together and take steps toward a cure for cancer — one stride, one smile, and one generous act at a time.
