Le Week-end is well underway and we want you to join the fight—your way!
Since 2009, participants, supporters and sponsors like you have raised over $62 million from cancer fundraising events like this one to make a significant difference in the fight against cancer at the JGH.
You can make a direct impact on the lives of thousands of cancer patients. They are our neighbours, our friends, our family.
Each individual or team challenge is as unique as the participants and supporters who contribute to the success of this unforgettable and impactful event—specially designed so you can participate safely in-person.
“Anyone who has heard those three life-changing words ‘you have cancer’ knows what comes next is a whirlwind of emotions—confusion, fear and denial. In the scariest moments of your life, there is something calming about knowing you’re in the hands of the very best medical professionals—and that’s the team at the Jewish General Hospital.”
A CAUSE WORTH FIGHTING FOR
This last year in particular has presented unique challenges affecting cancer patients in countless ways as well as contributed to growing needs at the Segal Cancer Centre.
Your support of Le Week-end means you are playing a crucial role in ensuring that the JGH—Quebec’s top-ranked hospital—and its Segal Cancer Centre remain at the forefront of cancer care and innovation.
In addition to exceptional patient care, the Segal Cancer Centre boasts a thriving cancer research program making breakthroughs in the fields of molecular oncology, cancer genetics, biomarkers in cancer therapy, and the study of new treatments—with a focus on cancers such as breast, ovarian, prostate and leukemia, among others.
