$10,000 in memory of an inspirational woman

In 2016, the generous associates at the TOTEM placement agency, Marie Nolwenn Trillot and Jérémy Muller, decided to honour the memory of a woman who was a tremendous inspiration to them: the agency’s founder, Nicole Giguère, who passed away from lung cancer. Throughout the year, for each permanent staff member they placed, they set aside an amount for the HMR Foundation.

It was a very proud and emotional moment last week when they presented us with a cheque of $10,000, an astonishing amount that they’re donating in support of research and advanced care for cancer patients at the future Integrated Cancer Centre at Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont (HMR).

THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts! Thank you both for your dedication to the patients at HMR and for your generosity! Thank you for being an inspiration to us all!
