Jay launched his sports challenge on the Douglas Institute’s grounds last Saturday.
Comedian Jay Du Temple will conclude the tour of his second one-man show FIN with a major challenge: crossing Canada by running and cycling. He is carrying out this challenge for the benefit of the Douglas Foundation to support mental health research and invites the public to support the cause now by making a donation.
Jay chose to support the Douglas for its international reputation in terms of research, care and teaching in mental health. The Douglas Institute is home to the largest mental health research center in Quebec: its objective is to promote mental health through understanding the causes, treatment and prevention of psychiatric disorders by applying cutting-edge scientific methods to the particular challenges posed by mental illnesses.

Laughter, generosity and solidarity were at the heart of the Douglas Show, a memorable evening that made a meaningful contribution to mental health research.
A $205,000 donation opens up new possibilities for the BLOOM program—more resources, more support, and more hope for young people and their families.
Presented by Desjardins, the second edition of Builders of Hope highlighted the strength of collective mobilization. The event raised $150 000, which will directly support essential research projects at the Douglas Institute.
