NOFCC is an independent volunteered based registered charity established in 1998 by a group of parents of children with cancer. These parents wanted to provide help and support to families, which was not available through other programs. Being parents themselves, they recognized the particular difficulties involved in caring for a child with cancer and the geographic challenges of living in the north. NOFCC serves all families who have been touched by childhood cancer – families with a child on active treatment, those off treatment or receiving follow up care, and bereaved families. Our area expands north to Timmins and Kapuskasing, south to Parry Sound, east to North Bay and west to Sault Ste Marie and all areas in between. NOFCC is not funded by the government and the volunteers rely solely on fundraising activities and donations. At any given time, there are over 30 children in Northern Ontario on active treatment. Many treatments last over 2 years.

We are a completely volunteer based charity with no paid positions. Help us help Manitobans with breast cancer.
