Anthony G. Clark and Deborah Maskens founded Kidney Cancer Canada, the country’s first patient-led advocacy and survivorship organization for kidney cancer patients. Despite suffering from the disease themselves, they not only helped overwhelmed patients access information, support and treatments, but also played a crucial role in the approval of and funding for life-extending drugs, saving hundreds of lives throughout the country.
