A message from event founders, Maryse Bouchard and Francine Ducas
For the past twelve years, our mission has been to educate people about multiple myeloma and to raise funds to support the Myeloma Canada Research Chair at the Université de Montréal, at theMaisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital (HMR).Thanks to your commitment and generosity, the Défi Cyclo-myelome has raised over $1 million in support of Dr LeBlanc and his research team since its launch in 2013.
Together we are making difference!
As participants and donors, let’s join forces to help eradicate this cancer and pay tribute to the patients and caregivers impacted by this disease, and to the researchers who are working to cure it.
