A RACE AGAINST TIME
This year, get inspired by Esteban!
It was October 14, 2021. Esteban, 15, was late coming home after his shift at work. It was getting dark, and his family was worried. As it turns out, he was lying unconscious only a few streets over. His scooter was several feet away. The situation was critical: he had sustained multiple fractures to his skull, shoulder, femur and ankle as well as severe trauma to his head. His chances worsened with every passing minute. He was rushed to Sainte-Justine.
BRAVING THE COLD FOR A GOOD CAUSE FOR 17 YEARS
The ultimate winter challenge
Organized by the Sainte-Justine Circle, the CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation’s Winter Triathlon unites over 300 participants every year, fueled by the same energy and the same desire to support the mothers and children of Sainte-Justine. Since February 2020, the CHU Sainte-Justine Winter Triathlon takes place virtually. For the first time since February 2021, the Winter Triathlon is resuming its classic face-to-face format at Maisonneuve Park.
There are two options for participating teams: a recreational stream, for those who want to have fun while they show their support for Sainte-Justine, and a competitive stream, for those looking for more of a challenge. Get a group of friends or work colleagues together and join us. Thank you!
CAUSE
Delivering the best health care in the world to the children of Sainte-Justine
The members of the Sainte-Justine Circle have been working diligently for mothers-to-be and sick children since 1999. They are true trailblazers for the next generation of philanthropists, engaging and inspiring a whole new group of donors with their fundraising events.
Together, they are helping to cement Sainte-Justine’s position as a leader in pediatric medicine in Canada and around the world:
80% of Quebec pediatricians train at Sainte-Justine.
75% of serious pediatric trauma cases in the province are transferred to Sainte-Justine.
3,500 babies are delivered here every year, including 60% from high-risk pregnancies.
50% of Quebec children who require specialized care are referred to Sainte-Justine. 10,000 children are operated on here every year.
84,000 young patients a year are admitted to Sainte-Justine’s emergency room.
Medicine is evolving at a tremendous pace. Every day, the experts at Sainte-Justine keep looking for answers, regardless of how hard they may be to find. Every day, lives are saved and new avenues open up to improve children’s quality of life. Now, more than ever, Sainte-Justine is ready and determined to deliver on the promise of a healthier tomorrow. But we can’t do it without you.
The reason we can provide the best care to every family is in large part because of generous people like you who are taking part in the CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation’s Winter Triathlon. Thank you!
