Calum & Lauchlin MacDonald - Atlantic Canada's Inspiring Family
Calum and Lauchlin have at such young ages, been through a lot, both mentally and physically. Our hope is that through sharing Calum and Lauchlin’s story we can increase awareness and shine a light on the need for more research and funding for not only blood cancers and paediatric cancer research, but also mental health and advocacy supports for young donors.
Simon Robitaille
My name is Simon, I am 22 years old, and I study business administration at university. I have always been very athletic: skiing in the winter, cycling in the summer, weight training at the gym, golf, and more. In short, staying active and keeping in shape has always been at the top of my priority list.
