what she would like to be when she grows up - and for an advertisement now playing on the radio.ATUMOUR THAT WON'T GO AWAY However, behind this \u201cjoie de vivre\u201d remains her unfortunate diagnosis with a hypothalamic/ chiasmatic brain tumour, for which Eve-Marie has been regularly monitored since 2011 at the Sainte-Justine Hospital in Montreal.It was in fact through her pivot nurse, Marie- Hélène, that she was put in touch with the 24h Tremblant organization.For her mother, Martine Laberge, this represented an excellent way to give back for all of the services and support they have received in recent years.Since 2011, Ève-Marie has been through surgeries, chemotherapy treatments, research protocols, medication, injections, and even hospitalization following a stroke, which ended happily without any consequences.She has lost the use of one eye however as a result of the tumour.For nearly a year, Eve-Marie's health has been relatively stable, thanks to targeted Eve-Marie Nicole and her mother, Martine Laberge, are proud to be contributing to the 24h Tremblant.photo Journal Saint-François Pierre Langevin chemotherapy treatment, which involves two pills per day.\u201cThe tumour is under control, at around 3 cm by 4 cm, but we do not know the effects of long-term treatment,\" says Laberge.\u201cShe is being closely monitored by a whole team of specialists.\u201d It is in this context that research becomes very important and where fundraising activities like the 24h Tremblant are indispensable.\u201cThe research allows us to gain time in order to find new drugs, both for Eve-Marie and all the other children we see in the hospital,\u201d says Martine Laberge.It is possible to make a donation by way of the event website: www.24htremblant.com.\"What isthe 24h Tremblant?+ An athletic challenge where teams of sic to twelve participants take turns over 24 hours either skiing, walking or running.+ 326 teams are registered so far + More than $24 million has been raised over 16 years There are more than 25,000 donors annually -
