Cancer doesn’t pause for the holidays.
Neither does our work.
Every day, adolescent and young adults (AYAs) aged 18–40 walk into Princess Margaret Hospital, Sunnybrook, SickKids, and Southlake — some starting treatment for the first time, others facing another round. They’re navigating one of life’s hardest journeys — often alone, often scared, and always in need of comfort and connection.
That’s where Alli’s Journey steps in.
On December 4, 2025…
…we’re hosting “Postcards for Fellow Travellers” with the Adolescent & Young Adult program at PMH — a gallery showcase where patients step forward not as cancer patients, but as artists. Their work, born from weeks of therapy, will be displayed at Princess Margaret’s Social Café. It’s an evening of creativity, connection, and community — and a powerful reminder of what healing can look like.

What We Do
Comfort Bags…
…are given to patients starting treatment — filled with thoughtful, practical items designed to ease those first difficult days.
A cozy blanket, lip balm, a journal, and more. Small gestures that say: you’re not alone.
$25 funds one Comfort Bag.
Mindfulness Art Therapy…
…is a clinically-supervised, multi-session program at Princess Margaret Hospital where patients heal through creativity. Guided by a certified art therapist, participants explore mindfulness practices and creative expression in a safe, supportive group setting. The art they create is deeply personal — channeling pain, hope, and resilience into something beautiful.
$500 sponsors one patient in the program.
$1,000 provides for the materials needed.
Why We Need Your Help
Our goal: $25,000
— enough to fully fund both programs for a year.
That means running the complete Mindfulness Art Therapy Program, providing ~250 Comfort Bags for patients across four hospitals, and hosting events like “Postcards for Fellow Travellers” that amplify patient voices.
Your gift creates comfort. It inspires creativity. It fuels hope.
We thank you for your generous support.
