Une course pour une vie

08/06/2019

Café DAX is proud and honored to thank our incredible athlete, Patrick Michel, for his unyielding determination and perseverance in running over 3,200 KM during our "One Run for One Life event" held on the Café DAX terrace between June 1 - July 31.

Through injury and unrelenting heat, Patrick was unstoppable and helped us raise almost $10,000 to support our honoree, Derek Johnston. Derek is battling cancer for which he is being treated with an experimental medication program. This inspiring event could not have been a success without the public and the countless customers - friends of Café DAX, who donated generously. With your support, we have accomplished and will continue to accomplish our mission of helping Derek extend his life with treatment and care.

Again, thank you for your gracious support and celebration of this meaningful event. Our friends from BTC films have been producing a documentary, so stay tuned!

For those who didn’t have the opportunity to donate yet, we ask you once again for your generosity by donating today.

Thank you for all your donations and the ones to come!

DAY 60—THE RUN MAY BE OVER BUT NOT THE BATTLE!
Today may be the 60th and the last official day of running for Patrick, but it’s definitely not Derek’s last day for battling cancer. Derek still needs your donations to help prolong his life and to offer him a better quality of living. Your donations help prolong Derek’s life by buying him time to complete the experimental treatment that is keeping him alive.

Since the treadmill is still out of order and couldn’t be fixed before the run is over, Patrick Michel is running his last marathons on Outremont roads today and tomorrow instead of running on the treadmill at Café DAX. (He decided to add a day 61 to his challenge!) If ever you catch him running on the road, give him two thumbs up for completing his amazing run of over 3 000 km to raise awareness on Derek Johnston battle for life!

Thank you for all your donations and the ones to come!

STAY TUNED! More exciting activities are coming to DAX to continue the quest on helping Derek!
