Voivod have reached out to fans with word that Christine, significant other of the band’s vocalist Denis “Snake” Bélanger, is currently battling stage four colorectal cancer. To help during this time of need, this GoFundMe has been created. Voivod commented today, February 24th:
“Dear friends & fans
We’re reaching out today for someone that is part to the Voivod family.
Christine McDonald, the partner of Denis “Snake” Bélanger, was diagnosed in October with Stage 4 colorectal cancer. The cancer has spread, and while treatment is ongoing and showing some positive results, it is intensive and demanding.
A GoFundMe has been set up to help cover medical supplies, travel, treatment costs, and living expenses during this time, as the situation has significantly impacted Christine‘s ability to work.
It has also affected Denis‘ ability to maintain his regular work commitments, as much of his time is now devoted to supporting Christine through treatment and recovery. Together, this has created serious financial strain due to treatment-related expenses and lost income.
If you are able to support, share, or contribute in any way, it would mean a great deal.
Thank you for standing with Christine and Snake.
— Voivod“
