On August 17, our dynamic team of 10 cyclists impressively took on the 2024 Défi Vélo Parkinson. Energized and excited, participants cycled approximately 60 km along an absolutely stunning route from the Cageux Wharf in Quebec City to Saint-Henri in Chaudière-Appalaches.
With the challenge come to an end, Pierre Beaudry, iA retiree and team captain, had this to say about his team’s achievement:
“So far, the iA Financial Group team has raised $4,820 and we’re confident that we’ll reach our $5,000 goal in the coming days. Every pedal stroke counts, and the whole team is proud to be a part of this important initiative, which supports over 23,000 Quebecers living with Parkinson’s disease. We know that together we can make a real difference!”
Kudos to our fundraising cyclists!
