Benjamin L.

Profile and story

Those who have taken part in the Charles-Bruneau Cup in the past have had the chance to meet Benjamin, and probably remember him and his winning goal in the celebrity match!

In March 2022, Benjamin received his last chemotherapy treatment after 3? years of battling T-type acute lymphoblastic leukemia. He officially went into remission and was finally able to resume the activities that make him happiest and that he had had to neglect in recent years, such as field hockey, basketball and soccer.

In difficult times, he says it was his sisters and parents who made all the difference, as well as the entire medical team at the Montreal Children's Hospital, who followed him. In fact, they all signed his field hockey stick. At the end of his treatment, Benjamin and his family in turn presented the medical team with a medal in recognition of their support and the teamwork they put in together.

As for the future, the 15-year-old dreams of "simply" living a normal teenage life and making the most of it! And that's what he plans to do on September 30 at the Coupe Charles-Bruneau!
