Become Part of Alberta's Cancer-Free Movement

At the Alberta Cancer Foundation, we don't believe a cancer-free future is just possible, we believe it is inevitable. When we get there depends on the focus and energy we put to it today. More than 200,000 Albertans are focused, energized and are part of this movement.

Your donations and participation in the Intact Insurance Canadian Derby Edmonton Race on August 21-22, 2010 speaks to the belief that a cancer-free future is possible and that we won't just settle for "some day". For those facing cancer today, in honour of those lost to cancer, and for the generations to come, you are making progress happen.

Neurofibromatosis (NF) is an umbrella name for 3 distinct complex genetic disorders that share a common manifestation tumour growth in the tissues that surround nerves. Most of these tumours are benign, although occasionally they can become malignant. NF may also cause additional complications such as disfigurement, bone deformities and learning disabilities.

Neurofibromatosis equally affects males and females of all ethnic groups. Although more common than cystic fibrosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Huntington’s disease and Tay-Sachs disease combined, neurofibromatosis is largely unknown and misunderstood in the general population. NF can strike any unsuspecting family.  There is no cure or drugs for Neurofibromatosis.
