The U-Link Patient and Family Fund is designed to help remove financial barriers when accessing phase 1 and 2 clinical trials for Canadian childhood cancer patients. Given that Canada is an expansive country, patients and families may be required to travel great distances to access clinical trials. Recognizing this unique challenge, Kindred Foundation and the Phoebe Rose Rocks Foundation created the U-Link Patient and Family Fund as part of the larger U-Link.care initiative.

The U-Link patient and Family Fund is proudly supported by Kindred Foundation, Phoebe Rose Rocks Foundation and Tillsonburg Running with the Bulls.
