Where do your donations go?

Owing to advances in research, they lead to a cure, and reduce the side effects of treatment, for more than 80% of children who get cancer.

They give researchers the means to achieve their ambitions by funding promising research projects that give hope to the families of children whose cancer is resistant to current treatments.

They finance the acquisition of equipment, cutting-edge facilities, and technological platforms that speed the benefits of research to the patient's bedside.

They help fund the art therapy program, which alleviates stress and helps afflicted children, as well as their siblings, to express the emotions they feel during treatments.

They fund the long-term aftercare program. In Quebec today, some 4,000 young adults between 18 and 40 are survivors of pediatric cancer.

They fund a satellite pharmacy service that facilitates access to medication for the families of hemato-oncology patients seen in the outpatient clinic.
