Bitsy's Army - Join the Fight Against Brain Cancer

My cousin’s name is Martin Piche. Growing up he had a passion for playing hockey, always being among the best in his age group. Martin was also a nationally ranked junior golfer and straight A student, but above all else Martin was one of the nicest, kindest, most generous and caring people you would ever want to meet. He has an incredible sense of humour and can make anyone laugh in a moments notice. When I was growing up he was always one of my favourite cousins and we’d spend so much time together. He truly is so much more than just a cousin to me.

After graduating from the University of Montreal with a degree in Mechanical Engineering at 25 years old, that’s when Martin was diagnosed with brain cancer. He’s now coming up on 7 years since he was diagnosed on May 11th, 2014 and he has been battling and fighting with all he’s got the entire time.

I decided to launch Bitsy’s Army so Martin can see how much he means to not only myself and our family, but to fight back against brain cancer the same way he has since he was diagnosed. I’m proud to be donating proceeds to the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada so we can fight back together against brain cancer and eventually find a cure to this terrible disease; all in the name of my cousin and my hero, Martin Piche.

Martin passed away on January 8th, 2021 after an almost 7 year battle with a brain tumour.  All money raised is going directly to the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada in honour of Martin, so we can help find a cure so nobody has to lose a loved one to this terrible disease.
