Funding

The Retreat Yourself weekend is free to young adult survivors/patients and one supporter. Young Adult Cancer Canada covers the cost of food and accommodations for the weekend, we only ask that you cover the cost of travel to the city where the event is taking place. If you are unable to cover this travel cost, we have travel assistance to help.

Travel Assistance

We have travel assistance available to survivors/patients and their supporters who may need it. The amount you are eligable for is based on the province you live in. If you are interested in learning more about Retreat Yourself travel funding, contact Katie at katie@youngadultcancer.ca or call (709) 579-7325 or toll-free at 1-877-571-7325.
