Dear colleagues, dear friends, 
dear donors, dear teammates,

It's already one week since we all woke up to gather at the Park. From the balustrade, the sunrise was throwing a thousand fires over Paris. But we knew that we had a rendezvous with rain.

5500 registered, 5500 showed up. Runners, walkers, volunteers, colleagues, friends, families...Supporting a little warrior or carrying the memory of our little stars, sharing sorrow and  forcefulness.

All responding to the call of duty, backed by so many donors for so many weeks. Duty to transform the grief into hope and the hope into healing. All had to honor their own commitment to support the children and to nourish it by sharing energy within our growing community.

When the rain finally came, it only got us closer together and finally strengthen our determination. Above us, the Patrouille de France all of a sudden came out of the clouds to kick off the run and their eight planes waved at us by coloring the sky. On the ground and in the air, we shared the same emotion : our fight is right !

The powerful and joyful blue wave took off and deployed itself, galvanized by music and the magnificence of the Park. All carried their effort at their own pace, by themselves or with mates and lived through their own achievements up to the finish line.

Long after all came back to the base, the lawn kept fully crowded to continue to share the emotion. On this roof of Paris, the Tower joined our program : recognizing our best fundraisers, carefully listening to doctors, honoring the memories of our lost ones, letting so many colorful balloons to the heights, sharing the dream and the masterful singing of Imagine.

Closure of this emotional rollercoaster came, under clapping and applauses, with the result of our collective mobilization : a wonderful record donation of 1 830 000 euros. Fully allocated to research : two programs developing innovative treatments to cure more and better children facing cancer.

Once again, you've made these exceptional experience and achievement possible.

Once again we've done this Together !

Once again, we have combined diversity and solidarity, especially with many of you reaching out from abroad !

Once again, I address to all of you my deepest thanks for your generous contributions and your continued support to families facing the cancer of a child !

A cause which goes beyond all frontiers !

Go Fight Win !
Let's do this Together....again !
Didier

Hi everybody ! 

Each year, the solidarity run /walk “Enfants sans cancer" is an even more powerful and more moving event. 

This year, for its eighth edition, Imagine for Margo - Children without cancer invites us to gather on September 29th at Saint Cloud Park (near Paris). 

Because every single day, more than one child dies from cancer in France and twenty in Europe. 

Because the children need you : 
- to support research ; 
- to develop new specific medication ; 
- to recover more and live better... 

To contribute to "Enfants sans Cancer", there are many options : 
- talk about it around you ; 
- make a donation (it's tax deductible in many jurisdictions) ; 
- volunteer to prepare or to staff the event ; 
- enroll to run or walk 5 or 10 km (no stress, no chrono) and start fundraising ; 
- register your children to allow them to participate and to support other children ; 
- join the team "Let's do this Together !" 

100 % of funds raised will be allocated to research on childhood cancer. 

Thank you for your support and for your generosity in favor of children. 

Whatever you do : run or walk... 

Let's do this Together ! 

Didier

- en parler autour de vous ; 
- faire un don (c'est largement déductible fiscalement...) ; 
- vous engager comme bénévole pour préparer ou encadrer l'événement ; 
- créer votre propre page en vue de marcher ou courir 5 ou 10 km (pas de stress, pas de chrono) et lancer votre collecte ; 
- inscrire vos enfants pour leur permettre de participer et de soutenir d'autres enfants ;

100 % des fonds collectés sont destinés à la recherche sur les cancers de l'enfant.
