Dear friends and colleagues,

After Indonesia, Tanzania and Guatemala where I treated hundreds of people and trained local professionals with the collaboration of Terre sans frontières and the Rotary club, I am now preparing to begin my next mission, this time as part of the Challenge against cancer program. This challenge will take me to Vietnam in April 2025, my native country, which I left by boat with my family almost 50 years ago!

This 13-day trip to Vietnam calls for surpassing oneself and participants will be confronted with humidity, cold and heat in their hike through the valleys of Northern Vietnam, with its mountains, karst reliefs and rice fields.

The fight against cancer is a cause that is particularly close to my heart, this disease having already affected my mother and my brothers as well as my friends and several of my patients.

All donations, big or small, will be welcome and will help the Cancer Research Society.

Thank you for encouraging me to take up this challenge and I promise to keep you updated on the progress of my campaign.
