Your door will soon be greeted with people raising funds for cancer care in Portage la Prairie. Central Plains Cancer Care Services executive director Judy Sauder says it's their biggest fundraising drive.

Judy Sauder"April is campaign month here at Central Plains Cancer Care Services. And so throughout our service area we have a lot of canvassers going door to door and asking for donations so we can keep our programs and services running throughout the year."

She notes they're able to raise a significant amount.

"Normally we raise about $140,000."

Sauder explains where the money goes.

"We use the money for our transportation program and our education programs. Our transportation program helps patients get to the their doctors' appointments across Manitoba. As long as it's a cancer related appointment they can have a ride through us. It also covers our education programs. We have two educators that go out into the schools, and we also have adult education programs."
