Thierry Lhermitte, Carrère d'Encausse Marina, Julie Depardieu, Elsa Zylbertein and more recently Marc Levy and Nagui, have one thing in common: they all support the Foundation for Medical Research (FRM) . And this year, for the 8th edition of the National Days , the campaign and the call for donations begin on May 30, 2016 and last 6 days.

For 2016, the new campaign of the Foundation, carried out by the agency Cheil France, wants to be "shock", with an evocative title: "The most unbearable would be to have to choose between these patients" . 3 different cases are presented: Carole, cancer, Paul with Alzheimer's disease and Jean, stroke victim. The message is strong: Medical Research does not have to choose one case to save more than another.

Because the Foundation, founded in 1947 , is involved in all areas of health . Mobilized alongside researchers, it receives an average of 1,500 applications each year from French public research laboratories. For 2016, the Foundation plans to commit 50 million euros to fund Medical Research, 6 million more than in 2015. The sums collected during the call for donations will be used to finance equipment, install young teams , fund positions ... The Foundation will decide to award the money to the most promising research in all areas of health.

To make a donation, it's simple, just go to the Foundation website, frm.org, or send a check (indicating on the back JFRM) to the mailing address of the Foundation for Research Medical, 54 rue de Varenne, 75007 Paris.
