Peter Laneas
Board VP Canada
Hi, I’m Peter, and my life is all about resilience and connection. As a two-time testicular cancer survivor, I turned my personal challenges into a mission to inspire and support others. After my second diagnosis, I became the first national spokesperson for Testicular Cancer Canada (formerly TCTCA), raising awareness about this often-overlooked illness. I was also the first co-leader of the Localife program in Toronto for Young Adult Cancer Canada, creating community for young adults navigating cancer.
Beyond cancer advocacy, I’m passionate about inclusivity. I broke barriers as the first LGBTQ+ survivor featured in the Princess Margaret Home Lottery campaign. Globally, I support testicular cancer patients through social media and mentorship. Now, as a board member of EVE, I’m committed to addressing intimate partner violence and making a difference for vulnerable communities. My journey has been one of hope, connection, and tireless dedication to helping others thrive.
