“Right now, my diagnosis is very fresh and real. I am both a patient of, and the Chief of Oncology at the Windsor Regional Cancer Centre.

I am a reminder that anyone can be diagnosed with cancer. Anyone.

As an Ambassador, I want to get the message out that screening works; not always, but many times. The best way to successfully treat cancer is to prevent it or catch it early. As for me personally, I hope that, in time, this diagnosis will be part of my history, with no place in my future.”

- Dr. Sindu Kanjeekal, 2023 Lock Out Cancer Ambassador

In 2021, Windsor Regional Cancer Centre saw 1,280 women newly diagnosed with cancer. In that same timeframe, women accounted for over 32 thousand visits to the Windsor Cancer Centre for treatment and care.

100% of funds raised from our Lock Out Cancer campaign will remain local.

This campaign funds initiatives that reduce wait times, provides added comfort, and helps keep more patients close to home while receiving treatment.
