OUR STORY
After his son, Brandon, received treatment for leukemia, Spencer Sherwood pledged to raise funds in support of the hematology program at the University of Alberta Hospital through a community-led initiative, Cruisin' for a Cure. Join us on August 21, 2021, for a bike tour to Morinville.
Families like the Sherwoods need your help to ensure patients with cancers of the blood receive the best possible care.
THE CAUSE
The University Hospital Foundation was created in 1962 by an act in the Alberta legislature. In the decades since, we have evolved into one of the most successful hospital fundraising organizations in Canada. They raise funds to advance patient care and innovation at the University of Alberta Hospital, the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute and the Kaye Edmonton Clinic.
The skilled members of the hematology team provide care to patients with blood diseases and cancers, of which leukemia is one of the most common. Leukemia patients often remain in hospital care for months at a time – away from the comfort of home and the support of their families. With your donation, you will advance research into cutting-edge treatment, innovative technology and increase patient comfort in the University of Alberta Hospital’s hematology program.
