OMG is a community of young(ish) individuals who've been diagnosed with breast cancer prior to age 50, and connect through monthly gatherings in Ottawa, Canada. Theses gatherings provide opportunities to meet, connect and collaborate with others who have had a similar lived experience.

OMG welcomes individuals at any stage in their breast cancer experience - whether newly diagnosed, beyond active treatment or living with metastatic breast cancer.
