The image alone sums up the spirit of the event.Michel Steimetz, director of Saint-Pierre-Chanel, and Alban Nikiforoff, principal of the college, cover (in costume!) the last meters of the cross country. In their company, a 5th grade schoolboy. Last in the event, he is no less supported by his comrades.
If the race is at the heart of the days of Thursday and Friday, the event aims above all to show solidarity. ” L’ Grégory-Lemarchal association needs these funds,” confirm Michel Steimetz and Alban Nikiforoff. The race therefore takes place, despite the context. “A directive from the Ministry confirmed to us that the events can be maintained,” they specify.
“It’s not a second wind, it’s an extra breath”
So it’s time for solidarity. Between €10,000 and €12,000 should be raised over these two days. “We are the event that brings the most donations” to the association, underlines the principal.
A commitment that touches Steve Matyja, who suffers from cystic fibrosis: “It’s good to see young people who surpass themselves, who support the association. It’s not a second wind, it’s an extra breath. »
