Most Canadians do not have to look far to realize they know someone that has cancer, battled cancer or lost a loved one to cancer. We lived this reality here at Quebec High School over the last three years as student, Jakob Drolet, was diagnosed with leukemia. He was fighting the disease prior to coming into our school community.
