Summers in Canada are short and precious and the majority of us try to make the most of every beautiful day by spending time outside and, ideally, getting out beyond the city limits to enjoy our spectacular Canadian landscape. When you are a person facing cancer – or a loved one of a person facing cancer – making memories with friends and family becomes even more important and every summer day takes on new meaning and importance.
What if you had a chance to help cancer patients and win one of 8,000 summer-themed prizes at the same time?
Currently, cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada. It is estimated that about 2 in 5 Canadians will develop cancer in their lifetime, and about 1 in 4 Canadians will die from cancer. The 5-year survival rate of all cancers is about 64%.
Despite these sobering facts, there is hope thanks to The Princess Margaret, one of the top 5 cancer research centres in the world. Our team of top researchers is committed to changing these statistics whether that is by discovering ways to detect cancer earlier, launching innovative clinical trials, or using AI and other technology to deliver more timely, targeted, effective treatments. The dedicated team at The Princess Margaret is always looking for ways to enhance care, improve outcomes and create a world free from the fear of cancer.
When you buy Princess Margaret Cottage Lottery tickets, you have a chance to win incredible prizes from Grand Prize Cottages in Prince Edward County, the Haliburton Highlands, or on Georgian Bay to big cash prizes, and so much more. And simply by buying a ticket, you are supporting world-leading research that changes outcomes for cancer patients at The Princess Margaret and beyond.
Your decision to support The Princess Margaret Lottery will ultimately help change the trajectory of cancer and, most importantly, give cancer patients more time to do the things they enjoy, like spending warm summer days with the people they love.
On behalf of everyone at The Princess Margaret and the many cancer patients who will benefit from your support, thank you for sharing our vision to Conquer Cancer In Our Lifetime.
Best,
Miyo
