November 20-21, 2021 — Breathe Challenge (Défi Respire)
Breathe Challenge (Défi Respire)
Dr. Normand Blais is a hemato-oncologist, member of the thoracic oncology team at the CHUM and research member at the Institut du cancer de Montréal. For the past few years, Dr. Blais has decided to combine business with pleasure by organizing a race in La Fontaine Park, in collaboration with the Institute, which organizes the activity and manages the donations. With the current context of COVID-19, the Breathe Challenge fundraiser has been transformed to adapt to the changing reality. For a second edition, the Breathe Challenge was under the umbrella of the Dépassez-vous pour une personne d’exception! campaign.

Support research in thoracic oncology
Since 2010, more than $522,000 has been donated to the thoracic oncology team and a dozen promising research projects have been conducted by Dr. Blais’ team. The objective of the event is to support the thoracic oncology program to encourage the education of the fellows and physicians in this unit while promoting research in this discipline and to allow for better international medical cooperation in this field.
Défi Sportif 2021
Held on November 20 and 21, the 2021 edition proposed to carry out a virtual sports challenge in honor of an exceptional person who has been touched or is touched by cancer. By creating a socio-funding page, registered participants could raise money for thoracic oncology research.
Although the Défi sportif 2021 has ended, it is still possible to make a donation:
