Raising Awareness and Patient Subsidy Funds for the Ottawa Integrative Cancer Centre (OICC) Foundation
LOVE. SERVE. GIVE.
Karma Yoga is the act of selfless service for the benefit of others. This event is being hosted to raise local awareness about the OICC, and to give back to the organization that has helped us so much! The OICC is the first integrative cancer care and research centre of its kind in Eastern Canada. Using a holistic, patient-centred approach, it welcomes people at any stage of cancer and those wishing to prevent it, to help reduce treatment side effects, improve quality of life, and help prevent recurrence. www.oicc.ca

- Browse / purchase some excellent books available through OICC; Enjoy refreshments
- Hear two local patient stories: Judie Martin's, and Sue Turner's (including how yoga has helped!)
