We challenge you to take 100,000 steps in support of the over 100,000 Canadians currently living with lymphoma.

Lymphoma affects many people, from patients, families, and caregivers, to medical professionals, and researchers. Lymphoma Canada connects and empowers this community through education, support, advocacy, and research.

Who: Anyone across Canada can register or support a participant.

What: This is a fitness challenge to raise awareness of lymphoma and funds for lymphoma programs and resources. Participants are challenged to take 100,000 steps in honour of the 100,000 Canadians currently living with lymphoma. Prizes are available for those who take the most steps and for those who fundraise the most.

This year we are introducing the option to register as either a lymphoma patient or community participant. Prizes are available for top racers in both registration categories. We ask that if you are undergoing treatment, are in recovery, or currently identify as a lymphoma patient in any way that you select this category. All other supporters are invited to register as a community participant.

When: September 15 ‐ September 30

Where: Anywhere across our beautiful country.

Why: Get fit. Win prizes. Help lymphoma patients.

Funds from Laps Around Lymphoma will help to provide support for patients and their families, educational resources, such as webinars and lymphoma subtype information, advocate for equal access to innovative therapies across Canada and help to fund lymphoma research.

LYMPHOMA PATIENT INFORMATION

At Lymphoma Canada, we strive to provide lymphoma cancer patients with information to better inform decisions regarding diagnosis and care. If you or a loved one have recently been diagnosed with lymphoma, you probably have many questions about the disease. Our Patient Resource Manuals help you to understand the nature of lymphoma and what to expect from treatments, including any possible side effects. The more you know about your disease, the more confident you will be when making decisions with your doctor about your care and wellbeing. Access a digital copy of our Patient Resource Manuals by lymphoma subtype. Make your selection from the list below.
