A few words on the importance to you of partnering with the Fondation Québecoise de l'Épilepsie As a healthcare professional, I have the privilege of supporting people living with epilepsy and their loved ones. Over the years, I have seen how essential it is to be well surrounded and supported along this journey. The Fondation Québecoise de l'Épilepsie plays a vital role by providing resources, building connections, and helping those affected feel less alone. Partnering with the Foundation is my way of making a tangible contribution to this mission and giving back to a community that is deeply close to my heart. Why you chose to get involved as co-chair of the Bal Lavande? It is a immense honour to serve as co-chair of the Bal Lavande. This event is so much more than an evening out: it is an opportunity to bring a community together and offer concrete support to a cause that touches me deeply. I am very excited to collaborate with my friends and colleagues to make this inaugural edition a unifying and inspiring moment. I agreed to take on this role because I believe in the power of collective commitment and the importance of making a difference—each in our own way—in the lives of people living with epilepsy and their families.

Je suis ravi de prendre part à cette première soirée du Bal Lavande. Ayant reçu un diagnostic d’épilepsie à l’âge de 17 ans, je suis profondément engagé dans la promotion de cette cause au Québec. Il s’agit d’une réalité qui manque encore de visibilité et dont on ne parle pas assez. C’est avec fierté que je m’associe à cet effort collectif pour encourager un dialogue ouvert et constructif.
