ABOUT
Welcome to the iCANmovement
The iCANmovement is dedicated to providing information to anyone impacted by cancer. Our ultimate goal is to provide wellbeing guidance to the endless questions that follow a cancer diagnosis.
Cancer may be a place you haven’t been before, but at the iCANmovement we want you to know that you are not alone. Navigating a cancer diagnosis can often be overwhelming and confusing. We want to bring information surrounding a diagnosis to one central place – a safe, uplifting, supportive, inclusive and inspirational place.
If the current statistics are correct, one in two people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. You can’t change a cancer diagnosis but you can change how you live with that diagnosis.
Our story
Louise was and will forever be our inspiration. She was an endless optimist and when she passed away in January 2019, the iCANmovement seemed impossible to continue.
Louise had started an inspirational movement encouraging others to ‘look good, feel good, in treatment and beyond’. Through hours of exhausting research she was able to change her mindset, which in turn improved her body, mind and soul. Louise had terminal cancer but she was determined that it wouldn’t define her.
During her treatment, Louise wrote, “I missed being part of the world, and some days I missed myself”.
Where do we go from here?
Louise has a story, but that is just one person’s story. Together with your help, and lived experiences, we want to build the iCANmovement into the destination Louise dreamt it to be.
Supporting the community
The iCANmovement is a for-profit initiative. Transparency is something we highly value. Currently, the iCANmovement is self-funded with the intention that all future profits (we are dreaming big!) are invested back into the cancer community.
Our motivation is simple – we want the iCANmovement and the information it provides to always be accessible to everyone – for free.
