WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Honouring Jackie's legacy

By providing age-appropriate care and support for adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients aged 15 to 39.

Community
& Connection

Find support, build connections, and meet others who understand

Through events, activities, and peer connections, we help adolescents and young adults (ages 15–39) build community, share experiences, and feel supported.

Cancer can feel isolating. At JAX, we help young people connect with others who truly get it.

JAX Events

Meet other young people in welcoming, low-pressure settings both at and outside the Cedars Cancer Centre.

Connect, unwind, 
and have fun.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, in treatment, or adjusting to life after cancer, JAX events offer a chance to build friendships and enjoy experiences beyond cancer.
