The 24h combines sports and enjoyment to raise funds that will help improve children's lives
FONDATION CHARLES-BRUNEAU
Since 1990, the Charles-Bruneau Foundation’s mission is to give all children with cancer the best chances of recovery by financing research and supporting the development of projects in the area of pediatric hematology and oncology.
OBJECTIVES
- Finding a cure for the 20% of children whose cancer is resistant to treatment and;
- Improving the quality of life of children in remission so that they can enjoy a true recovery.
STATS
More than $12 million remitted by the 24h since 2003.
One cancer-treatment centre, one research centre, three pediatric hemato-oncology centres in Quebec
- Montreal, CHU Sainte-Justine
- Montreal, Montreal Children’s Hospital
- Sherbrooke, CIUSS de l’Estrie-CHUS
- Quebec City, CHU de Québec-Université Laval
Over 29 years, the Fondation has invested more than $15 million in research and $40 million on construction, planning, and equipment for the 5 establishments.
SUPPORTED PROJECTS
Research projects
Called the Signature Program, this important program will sequence the human genome of children and adolescents with cancer to determine the molecular characteristics of each tumour, determine its diagnosis, identify the abnormalities involved and treat them with targeted therapies.
Sequencing paves the way for the discovery of biological markers of efficacy -- genetic markers that will provide an indication of the most effective treatment to prescribe and the likely course of the disease, with the objective of improving quality of life after recovery without after-effects or complications.
Research platforms
Research platforms: flow cytometry platform, pediatric cancer biobank platform, gene editing and cell reprogramming platform, chemical molecule screening platform and ELIspot and Luminex platform.
Complementary therapy
Cancer treatments are invasive and very difficult for children to undergo. The art therapy program is becoming an essential support element.
