For a nineteenth participation, the Foundation hopes to bring together more than fifty participants and raise $ 25,000.

We invite walkers and runners of all levels to participate in this challenge to raise awareness and raise money for our cause. All proceeds will go towards funding the programs and services of YWCA Montreal.
