This year, it\u2019s more than participation. It\u2019s a movement.<\/p>\n
Across Quebec, our AGF teams are stepping up with creativity, determination and heart. To raise funds, our teams have organized all kinds of activities: raffles, car washes, pie-in-the-face challenges, jewelry-making activities, country line dancing and even a special day when employees can bring their pets to the office. Each initiative helps support children facing serious illness.<\/p>\n
Each year, teams participating in the 24h Tremblant are paired with a child supported by the cause.<\/p>\n
This year, our teams have been paired with Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rique, age 12. Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rique lives with a rare genetic disease that affects her lungs. Treatments, hospital stays and remarkable determination have been part of her journey. But thanks to research (made possible in part by donations!), she has not been hospitalized in two years. She can now enjoy her childhood. Her dream is to one day get better and travel the world, a dream we are proud to support.<\/p>\n
The 32 participants across our four AGF teams will proudly represent the AGF spirit as they take turns on the mountain at Tremblant. Skiing. Snowboarding. Walking. Running. For 24 hours straight.
\nEvery descent down the mountain and every 5 km loop is a promise of care, treatment, research and HOPE for children like Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rique.<\/p>\n
Since its first year participating in the 24h Tremblant, AGF has continued to grow its commitment to the cause.<\/p>\n
