Women using the Centre come from all walks of life, and every continent of the world. They are motivated to achieve their goals for real change in their own lives, the lives of their families, and in the community.

Look Good Feel Better |

Look Good Feel Better is Canada's only national cancer charity committed to helping women manage the appearance related effects of cancer and its treatment. By taking control of how they look, using cosmetics and hair alternatives, women with cancer can strengthen the positive attitude that is so important in cancer treatment – and feel better about themselves. In the spirit of giving back to the community that supports their industry, the members of the Canadian Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association (CCTFA) are proud to be the founders and continuous supporters of Look Good Feel Better since its inception in 1992.

ALS Society of Canada |
|
|
ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a rapidly progressive and fatal neuromuscular disease that causes the degeneration of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. As the nerve cells die, people with ALS lose control of their muscles, which makes breathing, eating and even smiling almost impossible. Eighty per cent of those diagnosed will die within two to five years. There is no known cure or effective treatment of ALS.
The ALS Society of Canada, founded in 1977, is the only national voluntary health organization dedicated solely to the fight against ALS and support for those living with ALS. The Society funds research towards a cure for ALS and supports its provincial partners in the provision of quality care for those living with ALS.
