Pierre Brise-Bois is a very ordinary guy who has his unique name, to a Japanese priest came to visit another priest of a parish in Montreal, and by filling the baptismal papers, he separated by mistake Brise from Bois.

Little guy from plateau Mont-Royal, as he often likes to say, he has worked hard to gain a foothold in life.

Unfortunately in 2009 he was diagnosed with AMD. Macular degeneration mainly achieved seniors 70 and over, but at the age of 46, he holds this orphan disease gene from his paternal grandmother, who died too young and diagnosed with AMD.

As the father of 4 daughters, Pierre knows it is this gene and there is a big risk that his daughters be achieved someday.

He starts by taking control of their health and slowing the progression of the disease, ruffling physical activity. From that moment, his mission, find a cure for this disease.
