I was fortunate enough to benefit from your program with Kelly driving me for a bone marrow biopsy and Tom for my first PET scan. Both drivers were wonderful and excellent travel companions on my days that I originally felt a lot of anxiety.
I have another Pet scan schedule for early January but I’m less anxious due to contacting your program, and look forward to the companionship enroute. Thank You so much.

“I had to do treatments at VGH for 2 months and was able to use your service to get to my appointments, for which I am so grateful.”
“The service of your volunteer drivers and this organization is truly remarkable and made my recent cancer treatment so much more bearable. Thank you so much.”
“My husband and I have been touched by the generosity and kindness of all the drivers. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts…”
“I have been using VCDS rides several times now. I wish I had done it sooner and taken some of the driving burden off my dear friends. Thank you, Geni and Pat! You are exceptionally kind and selfless people. True people pleasers! They follow all the protocols that keep me safe. They are a genuine gift! Thank you to all at VCDS.”
“I am very grateful to the Volunteer Cancer Drivers. The Cancer Drivers have helped me immensely. They are kind, supportive, caring and a comfort in a time that much is needed.
During my son’s chemo treatments I was nervous and anxious. My driver always made me feel at ease and we always had a good laugh. It meant a lot to me that I could sit with my son and comfort him when he wasn’t feeling well. The drive to and from the hospital was never an uncomfortable one.
They continue to help take us to his appointments and check-ups. It’s a long drive to Vancouver from where I live, but my driver always does it with a smile. I don’t know how I could have done it or continue to do it, without their help and support.”
“We would love to thank the driver Andy Fillion, for taking my mother to the treatment center. Her appointment had run longer than expected, but Andy was very patient waiting for my mother. We are very grateful for his service!”
“Thank you so much. All of the drivers were so kind and thoughtful. It meant so much to not have to worry about how I would get to my treatment.”
You are so very appreciated!!! Fantastic, wonderful drivers!!!
I utilized drivers for chemo treatments in December 2022 - March 2023. I was so grateful for the service to take away the stress of driving and finding parking. I still book rides for my six month follow ups.
“I couldn’t have made it through treatment without these rides. The volunteers showed up every time with kindness, and it meant the world to me.”
"The stress relief provided by this service is more than I can explain. I am so grateful for the wonderful folks who have chosen to serve in this way. It has not only made my cancer journey easier, but it has also renewed my faith in humanity. Thank you."
“Thank you for your amazing service. I live in downtown Vancouver, my Mom lives in Langley. The logistics is staggering for us to get her to appointments, whilst still working… again, thank you.”
"I am so grateful for the selfless service of the drivers. They have been such a great support throughout my difficult health journey. They always have a ready smile and wait patiently until my appointment is over. As always, I am so very grateful because I could not have managed without their help and support. Love and blessings to your Cancer Drivers Society and all your wonderful, dedicated drivers."

Despite the windy and rainy weather today, I’m grateful, you cheerfully drove me. I’d like to thank you again for your precious time and effort, even though my family couldn’t help me due to unavoidable circumstances.
I, too, am challenged to recover my health and do meaningful work for my neighbors, just like you.
I pray that God’s blessings be with you.
