Bathurst – Mr. Brad Chamberlain (Wendel), a patient from the Oncology clinic at the Chaleur Regional Hospital who is currently fighting esophagus cancer, decided a few months ago to organize a bracelet sale for the benefit of the Oncology Clinic of the Chaleur Regional Hospital. The blue bracelets were distributed at a cost of $2. People responded quickly to the invitation and $ 9,000 was raised.
«Bracelets represent the team and the support our family received during our battle. The support has been incredible and we would like to thank everyone who supported us. Nobody should have to fight alone. », explains Mr. Brad Chamberlain.
The Chaleur Regional Hospital Foundation is very proud to have the support of the community. Mr. Chamberlain’s activity is a good example of the courage and determination of people to want to make a difference in improving health care and services in the region.
“We applaud the initiative of Mr. Chamberlain who, despite his personal struggle, has engaged in this community activity to make a difference in improving the care provided at the oncology clinic.” says Mr. Jean-Guy Robichaud, Chairman of the Chaleur Regional Hospital Foundation.
