Leucan Shaved Head Challenge 2023 Regional Campaign

There are many ways for you to take part in the Challenge’s solidarity movement.

In every corner of the region, the Challenge will bring together dedicated people who, like you, will make the great gesture of solidarity of the Leucan Shaved Head Challenge to give hope to the families of children with cancer.

Laurence and Jasmine, young spokespersons, invite you to take part in the Challenge!

“My name is Laurence and I’ve just turned five! In 2020, at the age of 19 months, after several weeks of tests and investigations, I received a double diagnosis. I was diagnosed with neuroblastoma and a rare paraneoplastic syndrome that affects only one in five million children: opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia syndrome. The syndrome meant that I could no longer walk. Following surgery and several treatments, I was able to take what my mother calls my “second” first steps! My family’s life changed, and that’s when we joined the Leucan family. Leucan means comfort, listening, support and joyful moments. It’s the lighthouse in this great fog. I’ve also been able to count on my little big sisters to accompany me through this storm. I’m proud to be a spokesperson for the Leucan Shaved Head Challenge. In support of children with cancer, my two sisters and I will be cutting off our hair. I invite everyone to participate in the Leucan Shaved Head Challenge to help other children like me!”

“My name is Jasmine, I’m nine years old and I’m a warrior! When I was just five, I was diagnosed with leukemia. I had to stay in hospital for several days. I couldn’t go to school anymore, and I was far from my twin sister and my whole family. I was very sad, especially as I had to take so many injections and swallow such awful medicines. The only good thing I had, except for my mom who took care of me, was Leucan. The Leucan playroom was a great source of entertainment for me. The ladies who worked there were great. I often received surprises. Leucan was the only positive thing that happened to me. During the two years of treatment, Leucan was always there for me and my family. Even now that I’m cured, the Association continues to offer us fantastic activities. I invite everyone to do the Leucan Shaved Head Challenge, because the money raised for Leucan makes all the difference for the families of children with cancer.”
