Trailblazer for Cancer is a family-friendly event, founded by Cory Bell and Chris Nolan who both lost sisters to cancer and wanted to create an event in their honour.

As the Maritime region’s leading health care and research centre, the IWK Health Centre cares for a population of over two million women, children, youth and families throughout Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI and provides specialized care to patients from Newfoundland.

Trailblazer For Cancer supports the Atlantic Division of the national Terry Fox PROFYLE project (short for PRecision Oncology For Young peopLE) through the IWK Foundation. Eighty per cent of children diagnosed with cancer will survive, but outcomes are poor for the 20 per cent whose cancers have spread, returned, or are resistant to treatment. 
For the first time in Canadian history, this project brings together more than 30 pediatric cancer research and funding organizations to give children, adolescents and young adults who do not have conventional treatment options left another chance to overcome their cancer.
