6H En Coeur concept
Montreal or Quebec City section: Participate alone or in a team of 2 to 6 people and get moving for 6 hours, by walking or running, continuously, in a group or in a relay.
Remote component: Take up the challenge of 6 hours of physical activity of any kind, solo, in a group or in a relay.
Why 6 hours?
Because 6 hours is the average duration of open-heart surgery for a child with heart disease. This event is a gesture of solidarity towards these children and their families.
A challenge of solidarity and commitment
The aim is twofold: to raise funds to support children with heart disease, and to show our solidarity with them through a joint effort.
