Help Us Stand Strong Against Inflammatory Breast Cancer
Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) is more than just a medical term; it represents a silent struggle faced by many younger women who receive a diagnosis that comes with aggressive symptoms and a grim prognosis. IBC doesn't just affect the body; it evokes fear, uncertainty, and despair among those who are newly diagnosed. Sadly, the rarity of this cancer leaves many frustrated by misconceptions and gaps in professional knowledge. We believe it’s time to change this narrative.
That’s why we are launching the IBC National Foundation of Canada (IBCNFC), the very first charity in Canada dedicated solely to tackling the challenges of Inflammatory Breast Cancer. Our mission is to raise awareness, advocate for better diagnoses and treatments, and provide support to those affected by IBC. We aim to give a voice to individuals living with this rare form of breast cancer, to educate others, and to advocate fiercely for change.
Why Your Support Matters
When you contribute to our campaign, you're not just donating money; you’re igniting hope amongst a community that desperately needs it. The funds raised will be directed toward:
- Education initiatives that empower through our comprehensive website, presentations, and webinars aimed at healthcare professionals including physicians, midwives, and nurses.
- Advocacy efforts targeting professional organizations, government entities, and funding bodies for increased knowledge and better treatment options.
- Support systems such as personal outreach calls, online support groups, and local meet-ups, ensuring that every IBC warrior has someone to talk to and lean on.
Creating a Lasting Impact
Your contributions will lead to an immediate and tangible difference:
- Increasing awareness among healthcare professionals, leading to earlier and more accurate diagnoses for future IBC patients.
- Creating a network of support among “IBC sisters,” ensuring that no one feels alone on this journey.
- Funding essential research that aims to improve the outcome for all who are affected by this disease.

THIS ISN’T ABOUT HOW YOU MOVE. IT’S ABOUT WHY.
Inflammatory Breast Cancer is aggressive, underfunded, and often misdiagnosed. It’s not rare - it’s rarely recognized. And in Canada, it has been left out of the conversation for far too long. We’re changing that. The IBC Network Foundation Canada is a patient-led registered charity focused entirely on IBC. We support people living with this disease, push for faster diagnosis and better access to care, and are working to fund the research IBC has gone without for far too long. This May, we’re inviting you to Move for More. Last year our community raised
$6,000. Move however you can - walk, run, dance, stretch, ride - and raise funds to support real action: 🧡 Programs that support patients and families
Your support moves more than just your body.
Join us. Sign up, donate, or share the campaign today. Why I Move
People join Move for More for many different
reasons. “I joined Move for More to honour women I love whose lives have been turned upside down by breast cancer. Last year, a close friend of mine lost her sister just shy of the five-year remission mark. She left behind two young daughters without their amazing mother. Around the same time, another beautiful woman in my life learned her cancer had returned and was suddenly facing the fight all over again. It felt deeply unfair. These women inspired me to take part in Move for More - to help spread the word about Inflammatory Breast Cancer and raise funds for research that could help more women in the future. I ran a 5K race in honour of Catherine and Daniella. When it started to feel hard, I reminded myself why I was doing it - and kept going. I ended up smiling the whole way and even ran a personal best! I hope I can continue to support initiatives like this where advocacy for rare types of breast cancer like IBC is front and centre. It’s something all Canadian women should know.” — Andrea Sluga What’s your reason? Join us this May.
