Welcome to CancerFightClub

CancerFightClub is a Hope & Cope grassroots initiative made up of committed young adult cancer community members (fighters, survivors, lifers, supporters and professionals) from across Montreal and Quebec (Canada).

Our programs include peer support, workshops and seminars, retreats, exercise and physical activities, and social get-togethers. You also will have access to Hope & Cope’s professional expertise and wide variety of resources.

Our En famille program provides additional support for young families in which a parent has cancer.

Eat, connect, create! March 21, 5 p.m. – 9 p.m. at the Hope & Cope Cancer Wellness Centre

Are you a Young Adult (18-39) dealing with cancer and looking to connect with a fun group of like-minded individuals who understand what you’re going through? Join us at the Hope & Cope Wellness Centre for a potluck supper and brainstorming session about possible activities for 2019.

From game nights, pub nights and movie nights to cooking, support groups, holiday celebrations and more – the sky’s the limit. (Well, almost!) Share your ideas, help shape our programs for the coming year and be part of a team dedicated to YOUR well-being.

Space is limited so please confirm your registration by calling: 514-340-3616, or by email at: info@cancerfightclub.com, and put “YA Potluck” in the subject line.
