We recognize the need for interventions and developed our educational programs in response to this.” Iqra can attest to the need for support. “I had a lot of family and school support available and was able to get the grades I needed, but without that support, I feel like things could have gone wrong for me.” Thanks to your generous support, our Education Support team can focus on building strong relationships between tutors and learners. This provides a safe space where kids are not only supported in subject matter and learning skills but also in building confidence and a sense of belonging.

“The magic here is bringing together one-toone personalized, targeted learning support that goes beyond specific educational metrics and builds skills that kids can carry back into the classroom and into their personal lives,” says Leslie Friesen, education support specialist at Kids Cancer Care. Our Education Support Program is presented in memory of Steven Fowler who loved school and loved learning. We are deeply grateful to the Fowler family and all our generous donors who support our education program. Together, we are improving education outcomes and creating brighter futures for young people affected by cancer. ~ Revised with permission from the University of Calgary’s Cumming School of Medicine and the Alberta Children’s Hospital Research Institute.
