We all have our own little personal chain of people we trust: our parents, brothers and sisters, spouse, children, best friends... I propose that we link all of our small personal chains to create a great surge of solidarity: The Great Chain "I pledge for 5!" which will allow us to change the lives of these young people.
This campaign aims to support the mission of the Charles-Bruneau Foundation, which is to cure all children in Quebec whose cancer is resistant to treatment and to improve the quality of life of those in remission by reducing the serious after-effects of treatment.
Over the past few months, our family has been going through a great ordeal. At the age of 5, Beatrice was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, stage 4 melanoma. She has shown resilience, strength, joie de vivre and courage through all the challenges the disease brings. She goes through each treatment, each examination and each surgery with determination, despite the fear and pain it can bring.
On October 1, 2023, together we (family and friends) will run 10 km in the Beneva marathon in Quebec City. A symbolic gesture to underline our strength and uniqueness through illness!
This benefit event for the Fondation Charles-Bruneau will take place on May 17, 2023, starting at 5:00 p.m. at the Impérial Bell - 252 Saint-Joseph Street East, Quebec City QC G1K 3A9.
