Hello,

It's with great pride that I decided to join this great adventure and great challenge that is the SRC challenge. In June 2020, I'll be one of the people who will climb the Himalayas to raise funds for cancer research. We need a lot of financial support to be able to find cures and new methods of treatment and I want to have the impression that I have done what it takes to help people who need it. This is something really important for me.

For my part, I do it in honor of a Great Man who suffered a lot: my father who lost his battle at the age of only 37 years old. In June 2020 it will be 35 years since he died. I also do this for my friends and family who have had cancer and have either lost or won their battle or are still fighting. I also do it a bit for myself. In June 2018 I received 2 diagnoses of cancer. Luckily they were discovered in time following a first surgery in April 2018. Cancer of the endometrium stage 1 and a very rare cancer: a mesothelioma in the peritoneum. A second operation followed in October 2018 to clean up what was left! The oncologistss told me that I still have micro-cells still in the peritoneum, they are very hesitant to give me chemo. The only possible treatment for me is called CHIP: hyperthemic intraperitoneal chemotherapy !! Basically we open the abdomen and put direct hot chemo inside, making sure to move all the organs so that it penetrates everywhere ..! Luckily I escaped because the oncologists believe that it can remain stable, so in September 2019 I had a 3rd operation to check these cells. My results: more cancer cells, no more traces of cancer! So I'm in remission :)

So it will be quite a challenge for me, who tore it a bit after my second operation. So i will take up this challenge at the height of the people who live and / or suffer from cancer or have lost their battle by honoring them as best as I can by carrying them in my heart during the ascent of the Himalayas . They will accompany me to these high peaks.

My challenge now begins with achieving the fundraising goal of raising $ 10,000. I invite you to support me in my efforts by making a donation, regardless of the amount, it will be greatly appreciated to help the Society on Cancer Research. Talk to those around you, your families, friends, employers, whatever. Each donation will be of great value and you will receive a tax receipt for your taxes for each donation of $ 20 or more.

For those who want to do a little more, I also offer you a little challenge ... a donation = a name on a banner that will climb with me. So for each donation of more than $ 100, I will make you a banner with the name of the person you want to honor and I will make them all fly at the top of my ascent. You'll only have tell me the name of the person.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for encouraging me to take up this challenge which is so important to me and I'll keep you informed of the progress of my campaign.

With all my gratitude, Julie:) xx
