Wellspring Cancer Support

Our heart goes out to country music star and philanthropist, Parton , who passed away on Tuesday, August 25, 2026 🕊️

She died peacefully after bravely facing a brief battle with cancer, her family and publicist confirmed in a statement.

At Cancer Support Foundation, we know all too well how hard it is to lose someone to cancer, which is why we have bereavement programs💚 We also have a large variety of programs for those living and supporting those with cancer - helping you find those rainbows where you can. Check our site if you need support.

Sometimes the impact Wellspring has isn't always an expected one. Read Jim's story and watch his new rap video - with funds supporting Wellspring Alberta.

What happens when a love of handbells meets rap music? For Jim, it became a surprising source of inspiration during his cancer journey.

Now, Jim is using his music to give back to Wellspring Alberta with his original song, Ring My Bell.
