About Us

Dedicated to Hope, Support, and a Future Free from Appendix Cancer.

At Appendix Cancer Canada, one woman’s experience turned into a mission to support others.

Lindsey Wolfram was a successful senior leader in the investment world, living an active life filled with travel, sports, and triathlons. In 2020, she was diagnosed with stage 4 low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN), a rare cancer that starts in the appendix and often spreads to the lining of the abdomen (the peritoneum). This slow-growing disease is becoming more common — especially in younger people — but remains largely unknown.

For Lindsey, stage 4 wasn’t the finish line. It became a turning point.

Lindsey’s diagnosis came during the pandemic. She searched for answers across Canada and the U.S., undergoing multiple surgeries and exploring every option. Today, she lives with the disease and manages it through diet, lifestyle, and research-based approaches. Her experience sparked a passion for advocacy — from volunteering with international nonprofits to contributing as a patient partner in research.

In 2025, Lindsey launched Appendix Cancer Canada — a national nonprofit with one goal: to change the experience of Canadians facing this rare disease.

Appendix Cancer Canada is more than a nonprofit — it’s a growing community of patients, caregivers, doctors, and advocates working together to bring attention, action, and hope to those impacted by appendix cancer.
