For the first time in its history, the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) has been able to fund research into chordoma, a rare cancer, thanks to a dedicated fundraiser who is currently living with the disease.

Chordoma is a rare cancer that affects the bones in the base of the skull and spine. It’s estimated that chordoma affects about 1 in 1,000,000 people each year. Although they are slow-growing, chordomas are often difficult to treat because they are located close to vital body parts such as the brain and spinal cord.
