Maison au Diapason fundraising run Sunday

Bromont’s au Diapason Foundation will be holding the 9th edition of The Walk / Run for The Diapason House, in which more than 600 participants will take part over Bromont's magnificent multifunctional trails. In 2017, the event raised $300,000 and covered nearly 40 per cent of the Maison au Diapason palliative care centre’s annual financial needs (which come from community donations) so that it can maintain free of charge palliative care and psychological and spiritual support to terminally ill patients and their loved ones. This year again, participants will have the choice of three different routes to walk or run. Spokesperson Richard Turcotte will be on hand to address the walkers and runners. The event will take place Sunday May 6, 2018, with an opening ceremony at 8:30 a.m. and first runners will start at 9:35. There will be a break for lunch at 11 a.m. and the course will finish at 1 p.m. It is being held at the Bromont Arena, 20 John Savage St. in Bromont The Maison au Diapason has welcomed more than 950 patients and their loved ones since opening in 2010, with its only goal: to ensure that one’s last moments are full of serenity, compassion, and love.
