WHY RIDE TO BEAT CANCER?

Cancer is the leading cause of death in Québec.
1 in 2 people will face it in their lifetime.
Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne, the only university hospital in Montérégie, welcomes patients from across the province.
The Centre intégré de cancérologie de la Montérégie (CICM) is a regional pillar.
Together, let’s reach our goal of $250,000 to offer ultraspecialized care, right here on the South Shore.

Alone, we go fast. Together, we go further. Every pedal stroke counts. Every kilometer traveled brings our patients closer to more efficient and accessible care. By uniting our forces, we create a powerful movement to transform the future of oncology. Take on this Challenge with us and let's ride for the cause!

When I was diagnosed, I was at a loss. But as soon as I arrived at Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne, I was told: ‘We know exactly what to do to treat you.’ Those words gave me incredible strength. Today, I’m in remission and want to give back. Riding together means offering hope and courage to everyone facing this fight. Every turn of the wheel makes a difference!

Je ne peux que saluer le dévouement et la participation du public, de nos partenaires et des employés de l’Hôpital encore une fois cette année. C’est formidable de voir qu’on se mobilise tous pour offrir l’accès à de meilleurs soins de santé aux patients de l’Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne.

Encore une fois, il n’y a pas de mots pour décrire notre émotion et gratitude. Grâce à votre générosité, les participants du Défi des générations se sont surpassés et ont amassé plus de 200 000 $ au profit de votre Hôpital!

Tous les dons récoltés permettent d’aider les patients et de répondre aux besoins les plus urgents de l’Hôpital. Que ce soit pour soutenir la santé mentale, spécialiser les soins en cancérologie, accroître le bien-être des patients et du personnel médical, encourager la recherche et l’enseignement ou moderniser l’Hôpital! Grâce à la générosité de nos donateurs et donatrices, toutes ces avancées extraordinaires contribueront à améliorer la vie de tous les patients et leurs familles.

Merci à nos partenaires et collaborateurs, Banque Nationale, Gravité et Chartwell, ainsi qu’à nos commanditaires, IGA St-Lambert, Pizza Salvatoré et Tim Hortons du Boulevard Cousineau.

Merci à tous ceux et celles qui ont contribué au succès du Défi, par leur générosité ainsi que par leur participation! En espérant vous revoir bientôt lors d’un prochain événement!

I’m pushing my limits for my Hospital!

This summer, we’re pushing our limits for Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne and its patients!

Different ways to participate this year:

Create your team or join the Foundation team and come take turns pedalling with us in the entrance hall of Charles-Le Moyne Hospital on September 12 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Rally your colleagues and take turns pedalling from 9 to 5 on your stationary bicycles one day this summer, in support of the health of your community. The perfect team-building activity for your teams!

Un défi qui vous ressemble. Seul, en famille, entre amis ou entre collègues de travail. Be creative. Les possibilités sont infinies! Consultez cette page afin de découvrir des idées pour vous inspirer.

You have until September 28 to meet your challenge and raise funds.

So, what will your challenge be?

Why participate?

Right now, we’re facing unprecedented constraints in the healthcare system.

Fewer staff, fewer beds, less operating time. Everywhere, waiting lists are growing longer. For patients waiting for surgery, for worried families, for our exhausted health workers, YOUR generosity makes all the difference.

Through your actions, you’re offering quality, safe and cutting-edge healthcare to patients and their families in your hospitals! From infancy to end-of-life, adolescence to adulthood. You’re there for them, from beginning to end, in times of joy and moments of pain, for minor injuries and life-changing events.

20 ideas for the generations challenge

You’d like to make a difference in your community and you’ve decided to support your Hospital? Fantastic! Now, you’re ready to take your second step: choose a challenge. But there’s a hitch: you can’t come up with any ideas… No problem! We have all kinds of suggestions. One of them is sure to be THE challenge that reflects who you are.

What makes a good challenge ?
Let’s be clear: you do NOT have to run a marathon to join the Generations Challenge. Sure, people who can do that kind of thing are impressive! But there are tons of other ways to push your limits, whether you’re athletic or not.

You can choose a challenge that allows you to discover new things that you enjoy, to adopt new habits, to gather friends and family around a common goal… The most important thing is to have fun, to choose something that you enjoy and that’s realistic! By choosing a challenge that corresponds to your objectives, you’ll have a better chance of successfully completing it with a sense of pride!

I’m looking for a challenge that will allow me to...

Adopt a new habit

Realize a dream

Give to others

Experience intense emotions

Attain a specific goal

Participate in an event

Gather friends and family around a common goal!

Anyone can join the Generations Challenge, so team up with your children, your parents or your grandparents, and dive right in! Don’t hesitate to organize your own fundraising event in your hospital department, your child’s school, your business, your sports team, your store… Together, we can build a HEALTHY health system!
