About
Leucan, one big family across Quebec
For over 45 years, Leucan has been a solid anchor for children with cancer and their families, at every stage of the illness, and throughout the province of Quebec, thanks to our team located in 9 regions.
In addition to supporting clinical research, the Association provides a number of specialized services: personal assistance, emotional support, financial aid, referral services, massage therapy, playroom staff, socio-recreational activities, the Leucan Information Centre, school awareness program and support, palliative care support and bereavement follow-up.
By supporting the well-being of cancer stricken children, you make it possible for Leucan to be present with the families at each step of this difficult period and even after treatments. Your contribution to the cause can make a real difference in the daily lives of those families. Discover the impact you could do by choosing to stand with Leucan.
