30 Years of Horizon

Fundraiser in honour of the 30th anniversary of the On the Tip of the Toes Foundation

See beyond the horizon. Together.

For the 30th anniversary of the On the Tip of the Toes Foundation, 30 former participants of therapeutic adventure expeditions are mobilizing to spread the word about our mission across Canada. Together, their goal is to raise $30,000 to help other young people affected by cancer, like themselves, to see beyond the horizon.

Every donation will be matched by CN, up to a maximum of $30,000. CN has been a partner of the On the Tip of the Toes Foundation since 2012. In a way, CN’s significant contribution is part of story of the hundreds of young people supported by the Foundation.

“After 30 years of working with young people affected by cancer, I can say that our therapeutic adventure expeditions change their lives and those of their families for the better, because we are part of their healing process.” – Mario Bilodeau, cofounder of the On the Tip of the Toes Foundation and of the programme d’Intervention en plein air (Outdoor Intervention program) of the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi and pioneer of Nature-based Adventure Interventions in Canada

The mission of the On the Tip of the Toes Foundation is to change the lives of young people with cancer by offering them therapeutic adventure expeditions. The experience of pushing themselves beyond their personal limits builds their self-esteem and confidence. What’s more, they realize that they are no longer alone in facing up to the disease: other young people are going through similar experiences. They return changed, ready for a fresh start and with a source of motivation that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.

I want to make a donation to the 30 Years of Horizon campaign
