Rose G

Profile and story

Meet Rose, a 12-year-old with a vivid imagination who always has a smile on her face.

The star of the Coupe Charles-Bruneau in Quebec City, Rose stands out for her artistic flair, her sense of humor, and her consistently positive outlook. How can you spot her? Easy: she’s always smiling!

In May 2025, Rose was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. It was an emotionally charged moment for the whole family, who were gathered in the doctor’s office when the news broke. After several months of treatment at the Charles-Bruneau Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Unit at the CHU de Québec-Université Laval, Rose can now say that her treatments are complete and she is in remission.

During this time, frequent treatments kept her away from school and imposed several restrictions on her daily life. Despite everything, Rose maintained her good spirits and her unique outlook on life. Her motto sums up her journey well: “What could destroy me builds me up.”

In her everyday life, Rose loves to let her creativity run wild: making art, going to a pottery café, playing Roblox or Nintendo, and watching the series Stranger Things. Her biggest dream? To own a pottery café!

Rose also shares her daily life with her brother Victor and Masha, her Siberian cat whom she affectionately calls “Billi-Bine.” Her brother has been a pillar of support for her throughout this ordeal. She mentions that what she loves most in the world is her family.

For Rose, being a Heroine means “someone who finds the positive in the negative.” A definition that suits her very well.

To those involved with the Coupe Charles-Bruneau, her message is simple but full of meaning: “THANK YOU!!”
