Lélia B.
Profile and story
In February 2022, at the age of 13, Lélia was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. Throughout her treatment at the Charles-Bruneau Pediatric Oncology Unit at CIUSSS de l’Estrie – CHUS, she and her loved ones were supported every step of the way by an exceptional medical team. Now in remission, Lélia only returns to the hospital every six months for routine follow-up appointments.
Driven, determined and full of energy, the teenager, affectionately nicknamed “Choupette,” has a true passion for sports. Proud of the independence she continues to build every day, the 17-year-old particularly enjoys flag football and cooking. For someone who dreams of becoming a sports therapist, the perfect day begins outdoors playing soccer and ends with a meal at a restaurant.
Inspired by their daughter’s determination, her parents recognize the crucial role research plays for families facing childhood cancer. With heartfelt gratitude, they share this message with the cyclists and supporters of the Tour CIBC Charles-Bruneau: “Thank you for your commitment. It makes a real difference in the lives of children diagnosed with cancer and their families.”
