Les Initiatives Papillon

Each year, the community of Estrie spreads its wings of generosity by organizing, in its own way, a multitude of initiatives for the benefit of the Fondation du CHUS.

As in the butterfly effect, each gesture, big or small, can trigger a chain of solidarity impulses that transform the lives of patients. These impulses, when they multiply, allow the Foundation to pursue its mission and to give more to the Fleurimont Hospital, to the Hôtel-Dieu de Sherbrooke and to the CHUS Research Center.

Ironman Father & Son for Life

Jean-Pierre Tardif and his son Nathan took on not one, but two immense challenges: participating in the Copenhagen Ironman in Denmark, and raising an impressive sum for the radio-oncology department at Hôpital Fleurimont. At 54, Jean-Pierre became an Ironman for the very first time, alongside his son Nathan, who already held the title. After 10 months of preparation, they completed the 3.8 km swim, 180 km bike ride, and 42.2 km run with courage and determination.
