The Canadian von Hippel-Lindau Alliance has been working hard to raise awareness of VHL and to raise Canadian funds. This allows the organization to source and invest in Canadian research for a cure. Over 93% of all funds donated to the Canadian VHL Alliance go directly to research and all donations receive a Canadian charitable donation tax receipt.
Our Board of Directors is made up entirely of volunteers who either have VHL or have close friends or family members who suffer from this disease.
We believe that it is important that you know where your donation is going and how it is helping your friends and families who suffer from von Hippel-Lindau disease.
