They Met the Challenge and Raised over $60,000!

On April 27 and 28, the HMR Foundation mobilized 134 HMR employees, doctors and patients to take part in the 5, 10 and 21 km Scotiabank Charity Challenge, at Parc Jean-Drapeau.

For the 3rd consecutive year, participants got together to carry out projects initiated in their own department and that will be realized thanks to their generosity. For weeks, 16 HMR teams and three teams of patients invested of themselves to prepare for the race and to raise funds in order to meet this sports charity challenge. They raised over $60,000 to realize a number of projects that will benefit young and older patients at the HMR.
