Oscar Peterson Concert Hall
Concordia University - Loyola Campus
7141 Sherbrooke St. W
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
You are invited to a UNIQUE, one time only benefit concert to raise awareness for lymphedema. There is no cure for this disease and our Quebec government does not pay or reimburse for the necessary treatments that could save their lives or give them a more comfortable life without so much strain and stress trying to find money to pay for their mandatory treatments. All profits will go to help Mary-Jane Puiu, a “grand lady” of music in Montreal, get her weekly treatments to save both her legs from amputation. Dr. Anna Towers will be on hand to talk about this disease.
