Why Cœur & Traditions
“We couldn’t wait for him to be a handful again.”
Caroline Fournier and Alexis Gros-Louis Houle
Léon was only 18 months old when leukemia entered his life.
01 / 04
18 months
The diagnosis.
Léon is diagnosed with acute B lymphoblastic leukemia. In a matter of hours, Caroline and Alexis’ world turns upside down.
02 / 04
6,000 km
In the first month.
Between home and the hospital, Alexis estimates he drove nearly 6,000 kilometres during the first month of hospitalization.
03 / 04
Charles-Bruneau
The hemato-oncology unit.
The family is supported by the Charles-Bruneau pediatric hemato-oncology unit throughout treatment.
04 / 04
Leucan
There from day one.
Financial aid, psychological support, mentoring and administrative help for the whole family.
A promise
Give back.
From their first days at the hospital, Caroline and Alexis made a promise.
“We’re privileged that Léon is pulling through. For us, it’s only natural to turn around and give back.”
The bell moment
Léon will ring the bell.
In pediatric hemato-oncology units, the bell marks a milestone: the end of treatment. After two years of care, Léon is almost there.
And this is only the beginning.
