The Heroes’ Run
18th MAY in LYON (France)
A great festive moment in the heart of the city of Lyon, the “Heroes’ Race” took over the Parc Gerland.
This event brings together volunteers from many associations, each one responsible for collecting donations for their association from their relatives, families, friends and colleagues.
We had 7 “Heroes”: Roxanne’s father, mother, aunt and great-aunt, Cécile’s husband and sister-in-law, as well as one of our researchers in Lyon, Professor Romain Debret. They all worked hard to raise more than €5,700. A thousand BRAVOS to all of them.
To top it off, thanks to Roxanne’s mom and the fabulous costumes she made and brought, we won the Best Costume Award: an extra €500 in our kitty.
A joyful, friendly day, full of laughter, joy, shared happiness and a picnic under the cool of the trees.
