Charles Bruneau

We owe this dream and its moving message of hope to Charles. His dream is now shared by all children fighting to overcome this dreaded disease.

The Fondation Charles-Bruneau draws inspiration from Charles’s perseverance in its efforts to lead the fight for life for as long as it takes.
