On September 12, Sylvie Deshaies, Senior Advisor, Administration and Group Implementation, Group Savings and Retirement, took part in the Grand défoulement walkathon at the Sainte-Foy outdoor recreational area, in Quebec City. In addition to this walkathon, Sylvie and her team, Les Sunshine, made up of family and friends, committed to walking 90 or more minutes per week or a minimum of 900 minutes in order to raise money for the Quebec Cancer Foundation. Obviously, every step is taken while respecting public health guidance.
Les Sunshine raised $3,815, which is nearly 120% of their goal of $3,000. The Quebec City event raised a total of $77,000, well over the expected $40,000.
The funds raised will be used for Quebec Cancer Foundation programs and services that support thousands of Quebeckers with cancer and their loved ones, through concrete services that meet their needs.
