“All of the event’s proceeds are donated to the GO Foundation to support medical research on hereditary orphan diseases and to fund projects that promote healthy habits. The 1,000-km event is not merely an athletic feat; it is above all an inspirational event to all the children and their families willing to take charge of their health, also bringing hope to all the children afflicted with hereditary orphan diseases. The event also mobilizes thousands of students in the province of Quebec that participated in The Grand Défi Pierre Lavoie throu- ghout the school year.”
