My Story

27 Jul 2024

Je connais beaucoup de personnes qui ont survi ou ont perdu leur bataille contre le cancer. Mais le cancer ne touche que les adultes, il touche les jeunes aussi! Cet août, je participe dans le grand défi cycliste pour combattre le cancer aux enfants!

Pourquoi? Parce que maintenant, plus de 1,700 enfants sont diagnostiqués de cancer chaque année et c'est le plus grand tueur de la maladie parmi les enfants au Canada. Les enfants devraient vivre la vie, pas se battre pour elle.

Donc je lève des fonds pour aider ces enfants et le Fondation de SickKids pour developper des traitements et trouver un remède pour le cancer aux enfants. Aidez-moi par faire un don pour donner un avenir plus brillant aux ces enfants.

Votre soutien changera de petites vies.

Merci!

---------------------------------------------

This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Why? Because right now, over 1,700 children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and it's the biggest killer of children from disease in Canada.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support SickKids Foundation to allow them to continue their work in developing treatments and finding a cure for childhood cancer.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.
