Team Jacqueline
Welcome to our Team Jacqueline fundraising page!
Because of donors like you, Jacqueline was able to start chemotherapy to treat myeloma.
Jacqueline and her husband have been regular blood donors for several years. But last spring, Jacqueline was diagnosed with myeloma and suddenly required several transfusions herself prior to starting cancer treatment. She is a daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, friend, colleague and because of donors like you, she will be able to finish treatment and put her cancer into remission.
We are asking you to donate blood or make a financial donation in honour of Jacqueling and all of the other people facing blood cancers. Jacqueling also wishes to thank you from the bottom of her heart, for giving the gift of life.
We are championing this campaign to raise funds in support of Canadian Blood Services. Your support will play an integral role in connecting patients with lifesaving blood and blood products where and when they need them. By making a financial gift, you become an integral part of Canada’s Lifeline.
