Amazing vendors, informative and modern workshops and more are only a taste of what you’ll find at this year’s Wed by Hand. Above all, Wed by Hand is especially awesome because it supports unique, interesting and innovative local causes too! This year we’re happy to announce that our charity is Fertile Future.
Who are they and why do they exist?
Fertile Future is a Canadian national non-profit organization that provides fertility preservation information and support services to cancer patients and oncology professionals. Each year, an estimated 10,000 young Canadians face a cancer diagnosis. Approximately 8,000 of them will win this battle. Without knowing the importance of fertility preservation prior to their treatment, many are left infertile with few options. Fertile Future aspires to change this reality for cancer patients. Our mission is to inform, educate and support cancer patients who are facing fertility-risking medical treatment and oncology professionals who are providing this care.
