For the second year in a row, the event takes place in a virtual format, which does not prevent the financial objective from being exceeded.
A sum of $ 59,212 was raised during the weekend of June 3 to 6. This year the participants had the possibility to choose the department to support. Thus, several departments of the Regional Hospital will be able to benefit from the profits generated by the activity: CHSLD de Saint-Jérôme; births and pediatrics unit; medical care; intensive functional rehabilitation unit; operating theater; and the Lachute Hospital, the result of the involvement of the Argenteuil Hospital Foundation and its allies.

The campaign is not yet over. The site remains open until June 30 and participants can continue to raise donations for the health of people here.
The Foundation always takes this opportunity to highlight the participants who stood out the most. The URFI (Intensive Functional Rehabilitation Unit) team far surpassed all competitors and secured the place at the top of the rankings – raised $ 5,140, a record. The Operating Room, Métautek and Airbus teams stood out with their extraordinary fundraising. Among the individuals, Lorraine Benoit de Mirabel won first place for the 4th consecutive year with $ 1,155 raised.
Several businesses in the region have decided to support the largest health foundation in the Laurentians. As sponsors or participants, they mobilized to compose this firm front and demonstrate their enthusiasm for improving health care in the region. The Foundation would like to thank the sponsors of Courir à notre santé: Desjardins, IGA Vos Marchands des Laurentides, PFD Avocats, Métautek, La Petite Bretonne, Ville de Mirabel and Ville de Blainville. She also thanks all the teams of employees of the CISSS des Laurentides and the Saint-Jérôme Regional Hospital, whose involvement was unparalleled this year. Finally, she underlines the support of several municipalities and parks in the region, which have opened their doors to welcome the runners and walkers of the event.
