Today, aged 6, Anaïs is a little girl who loves to see others happy and enjoys life to the fullest , but it was a difficult journey for her and her family. At her 7 months old, Anaïs was diagnosed with histiocytosis of Langerhans, a rare disease. She immediately started 3 years of chemotherapy treatment. Today Anaïs celebrates 3 years of remission! She made her dream come tru...e in 2017 towards the end of her treatments. Back then, Anaus and her brother loved to go camping with their parents. Anaïs s' dream of having a trailer was born. Her mother, Marie-Michèle, remembers: Tell you the reaction of Anais and Jacob when they saw the trailer! The kids were in awe." The trailer is set up at the family camping and Anaïs continues to enjoy it. Anaïs’s dream has been and is always a source of happiness. We spend pleasant family time, which was rarer during the years of treatments. From August 31 to September 4, 2020, thank you for supporting National Convenience Week.
