As part of the day of activities organized by Living with Cystic Fibrosis, (morning dedicated to AGM and reserved for up-to-date members of the organization) our team opens its afternoon and offers all visitors, members or not, a moment of sharing, culture and relaxation.

Jean-Christophe Réhel was born on April 25, 1989, in Montreal. He mainly writes poetry, but has published a novel, Ce qu'on respire sur Tatouine, for which he won the Middle School Literary Award in 2019. He is a regular contributor to the radio show Plus on est de Fous, Plus on Lire! and has been publishing “Le Poème à Réhel” every week in the newspaper Le Devoir since January 2020. He also regularly hosts poetry workshops in high schools and collaborates with several literary journals (Lettres Québécoises, Estuaire, Zinc) 2.
In the fall of 2019, he published Peigner le feu, a collection of youth poetry published by La Courte Échelle. This collection has been the subject of a youth TV series since April 2021, and is available On line on UnisTV.
He is currently working on writing his second novel.

Jean-Christophe Rehel

He has cystic fibrosis, a disease that affects his writing a lot. Indeed, he explores a lot the themes of loneliness, fatigue and illness. However, his writing is not lacking in humor, and is often self-deprecating. His works are said to describe both the beauty and the blandness of everyday life. Follow him on social networks

Odile Lefrancois
At the age of 15, Odile Lefrancois, who became the youngest bi-pulmonary transplant recipient in Quebec, in her book entitled”different, marked for life” and published in 2020, gives us his testimony on this experience.

The new year is coming and I am still asking myself this eternal question. Literature is my whole life. My studies, my free time, my passion. I write every day and I still find ways to tell myself that it's not enough. When I'm not at my keyboard or when I don't have a pencil in my hands, it's the words of others that I consume. Not necessarily to inspire me, just to get away http://blog-eboulements.com/

The objective of this event is also to bring together all participants, regardless of the theme addressed: current topics (mental health, relationships with others, etc.), literary and - or artistic - career,... Quite simply, concepts that are important to the participants.

At 13:15 p.m., the event will be launched by our director general, Josée Côté, who will then give way to the coordinator Sébastien Puli to present Jean-Christophe Rehel, his career and his works. A prolific FK author, Jean-Christophe will answer all your questions. Do not hesitate to share them with us in advance on our social networks or in the comments, the meeting will only be more enriching and dynamic.

This first exchange will take place from 13:20 to 14:20 approximately, then Sébastien will do the same with Odile. Her point of view, her personality, her background, are more reasons to join us, emotion will be there, that's for sure!

The end of the event is scheduled for 15:30 p.m., we are waiting for you in large numbers and enthusiastic to make this moment exceptional!

These virtual meetings are a valuable opportunity, especially given the isolation that affects us all at different levels during this very special time. We will discuss some topics concerning the majority of our participants, who are aware of the quality of life of adults with CF. It is this quality of life that is particularly tested this year.
