Following the success of its inaugural event last year, AURA returns for an even more outstanding second edition!

This year, AURA has set the ambitious goal of raising $150,000 to support advanced research and the development of innovative treatments that can improve quality of life for those living with epilepsy.

This fundraising platform therefore complements the November 12 event, for which tickets are available here: https://fondationduchum.com/en/community-fundraising/aura/.

“As a neurosurgeon specializing in epilepsy at the CHUM and a regular researcher at the CHUM Research Centre, I meet patients every day whose lives are profoundly altered by this debilitating condition. Epilepsy affects nearly 50 million people worldwide, and behind every diagnosis, there’s a unique story, family impacts and daily struggles. AURA is more than a fundraising event: it’s a gesture of solidarity, a message of hope and a tangible way to make a difference for all those living with epilepsy.”

— Dr. Sami Obaid
