Do you like to drive? Do you enjoy helping others? We need you!

Imagine being told you have cancer, and that you need to travel each day to receive life-saving treatment but you have no way to get there. 

That’s where the Canadian Cancer Society’s Wheels of Hope comes in – a program that offers a ride for people with cancer who need help getting to and from their treatment appointments.   

We need volunteer drivers all over the Durham region. The program operates Monday to Friday during the day. A mileage reimbursement is offered. If you have a weekday to spare or even just a few days per month, please consider signing up for Wheels of Hope!
