Breathing Challenge
Dr. Normand Blais is a hemato-oncologist, member of the thoracic oncology team at the CHUM and research member at the Montreal cancer Institute. 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.
