Malheureusement atteinte de la sclérose en plaque (Sep) depuis plus de 5 ans; j’ai du ralentir considérablement ma démarche artistique et dire adieu à plusieurs projets qui me tenaient à cœur.
Cependant, un chirurgien vasculaire italien, le Dr Zamboni, a découvert que les gens atteints de la Sep ont un problème vasculaire (IVCC) qui se traite par angioplastie. Il a traité plusieurs personnes qui ont vu leur état de santé s’améliorer d’une façon étonnante. Ce traitement n’est pas encore accessible au Canada.
Je souffre d’une forme très agressive de la maladie (Progressive Primaire). C’est pourquoi j’ai décidé d’aller me faire traiter aux États-Unis à la clinique Synergy Health Concept où il est possible de recevoir les soins appropriés. Ce voyage médical coûtera environ 10 000$. J’ai besoin de votre aide financière pour m’aider à retrouver une belle qualité de vie.

Therapeutic clown, professional dancer, choreographer and dance teacher.
Unfortunately, I have been suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS) for more than 5 years and sadly, been forced to say goodbye to numerous projects that I had once held closely to my heart.
Fortunately, however, a renowned Italian vascular surgeon, Dr. Zamboni, discovered that people with MS have a vascular problem (CCSVI) which can be treated with angioplasty. His treatment has helped thousands of people who have seen their health improve considerably. Unfortunately, this procedure is not yet available in Canada.
I have a very aggressive form of the disease (primary progressive, which occurs in only 15% of those stricken with MS). That's why I have decided to get treated in The United States at the Synergy Health Concept Clinic, where I can receive proper care. Without this treatment, I anticipate abandoning my walker for a wheelchair in the very near future. Not to mention abandoning my two-story home well before my 14 and 16 year old graduate from high school.
This medical trip will costs roughly $10 000, and as I make less than 20 000 a year it is nearly impossible for me to cover the expenses alone. Please, if you can, help me to improve my quality of life as well as that of my family’s.
