Leucan Shaved Head Challenge – Drummondville

Take up the Drummondville Challenge

Leucan invites you to its Drummondville Leucan Shaved Head Challenge, to be held in person on February 20, 2025 at Collège Saint-Bernard.

The Association welcomes Émilie Jutras, Dentist and owner of Clinique dentaire Émilie Jutras, as Honorary Co-President of the Challenge:

“It’s with a feeling of gratitude that I accepted the honorary co-presidency of the Drummondville Leucan Shaved Head Challenge. It is essential to support children with cancer and their families. Leucan and its employees are unparalleled in their generosity and kindness, as I myself benefited from their invaluable help with my daughter’s thyroid cancer.

Now it’s time to give back to this extraordinary organization to continue to bring comfort and happiness to sick children. I invite you to participate in large numbers in the Drummondville Leucan Shaved Head Challenge and to be generous in the name of children with cancer.“

Sara, Émilie’s daughter, will be present as a spokesperson for the Challenge. In 2023, at age 18, Sara was diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma. She shares her story:

“In June 2022, I noticed an odd lump in my neck. Six months later, I saw my doctor at the CHUS Fleurimont. After several tests, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, which is very rare in children. On March 22, 2023, I had an operation to remove my thyroid gland and all my lymph nodes on the right side. A few days later, while I was still reeling from what had happened, a Leucan representative came to see me at the hospital. It was such a heartwarming visit, and I received some gifts that did me so much good. It was the light at the end of the tunnel, because from then on I knew I was in good hands.

Leucan is like my second family, one that understands me when things are rough, but also when things are going well. It’s probably the only family that truly understands what I’m going through. My Leucan family includes children who’ve been through a similar ordeal. It’s this experience that defines us as a person. It’s our story.

I got to know this new family during the autumn camp with the Heart-filled Hope support group. It was one of the best weekends of my life! I was welcomed into an incredible family with open arms. All the people I met there are simply beautiful. That’s how I created a new family for myself.

I’m here today to pay it forward—to give to others what I was so fortunate to receive.

Please donate to the Leucan family.“
