"In 1992, Martine Vaccarezza, Mado Petit, Thérèse Mencaraglia and Philippe Ballerio, under the Honorary Presidency of H.S.H. Princess Stéphanie, set up the association “Ecoute Cancer Réconfort” to offer help and comfort to cancer sufferers.

Since then, thanks to a devoted team, members and volunteers alike, our association has striven continuously, so that patients and their families are able to find the support – both psychological and financial - they need.

To reach our goal, in addition to our activities among patients, hospital visits, running a “wellness centre” and providing medical equipment, our association organises information sessions geared towards the general public, charity events and all types of recreational activities such as :

* A monthly meeting including drinks and snacks every third Wednesday of the month from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.on the Association’s premises. The meeting provides participants with the opportunity to have a drink and a chat in a relaxed, light-hearted and friendly atmosphere.

* Outings to the countryside to enjoy a walk and to unwind,

* Guided coach tours followed by lunch and an afternoon of dancing.

Please join us in our efforts so that our association is able to carry out new projects and to improve the well-being of patients and their families further.
