As founder of the Saint-Lambert Games for Cancer Research, I brought together two of my passions, research and athletics, to carry out our fundraiser.

This year, for the Renaissance Edition, the Games will take place under a hybrid formula: you can take part in the Saint-Lambert Games in-person on July 10 and/or take up a personal or family challenge for the duration of the month of June.

The in-person Saint-Lambert Games on July 10 is a family activity during which children and parents take part in activities such as tug of war, running in potato pockets, shot put, long jump and sprint.

It is a great pleasure for me to participate in the Saint-Lambert 2022 Games as “Champion” and to promote cancer research. It is very important to support fundamental research, the contribution of which will contribute to the development of more advanced treatments and techniques to counter the devastating effects caused by cancer.

That is why I am setting myself a personal challenge: burn 1000 calories on average per day during the month of June. To give you an idea, by doing 4km of walking, 5km of jogging, or 20km of cyclineg, I burn respectively around 200. 400 or 5000 calories.

You can now follow my efforts in real time:

On June 10, I was trailing a bit, averaging only 908 calories a day. My challenge turned out to be more difficult thant anticipated. Finally, I managed to exceed the 1000 calories per day on average on June 28, just before the end of the month. The end result is 1008 calories per data during the month of June. Thanks to your donations, I succeeded. Thank you very much.

Thank you for assisting me and supporting my challenge to raise funds. Donating will have an immediate impact on cancer research. Every contribution will help. All the funds raised go to basic research.

Also, I would like to thank my very passionate family, friends and neighbor. Without their support, the organization of this event would not be possible.
