A moving video. Footballer Maxime Fleury, who played at OGC Nice and the Stade Rennais training center, published a video on his Facebook account to allow his wife, who suffers from leukemia, to benefit from an expensive experimental treatment. The fundraiser was launched by his mother-in-law at the beginning of October. This story begins two years ago. In 2022, doctors diagnosed Julia with acute myeloid leukemia.
Since the publication of the message, more than 200,000 euros have already been collected, which will cover almost the entire cost of treatment in the United States while, according to doctors, Julia “has a life expectancy of one year in France”said the player. Last chance treatment is offered by MD Anderson Hospital in Houston, Texas. “It’s the last chance to save my wife, it’s the last treatment there is on this Earth.”said Maxime Fleury. The treatment costs between “200,000 and 250,000 euros.”
The prize pool already amounts to nearly 210,000 euros. Players like Sofiane Diop, Lilian Brassier and Sacha Boey participated in the donations, Maxime Fleury told our colleagues at Parisian. The couple thus “was able to pay an initial deposit of $71,000 to be received at MD Anderson Hospital in Houston and to begin examinations” wrote the young woman on the prize pool site.
