Wednesday October 30, 2024, at the end of the day, the whole last preparation meeting of Telethon 2024 of the territory of Noues-de-Sienne. Tightened this year to just one day.

A day where young people from schools and colleges in the Noues-de-Siennois region will be strongly mobilized in the delegated municipality of Saint-Sever-Calvados on the occasion of the “School Sponsored Cross” launched at the initiative of the Jean Vilar college sports association.

School stakeholders

And cross which will take place without an audience, the reinforced vigipirate plan having been in force since the start of the school year. “It is an action organized in partnership with schools and teaching teams in the area. Students have already sold grids of ten boxes at 1 € the box. They therefore made a collective commitment to their sponsors to carry out one tour per space sold on the big day,” explains Françoise Simon, head of the college’s sports section. LAPE of the Simone Veil school group will offer snacks to the young participants. Students from the small and medium-sized nursery sections will go running alongside their elders at the Roseraie nursing home. “Half of the donations collected will be donated to the AFM Téléthon and to the FSE to help finance overnight stays.”

A night walk/gallop around the Dathée

Then, at 6:30 p.m.it is from the delegated municipality of Saint-Manvieu-Bocage that the participants in the 2nd edition of the “Night Walk/Galopade” will set off. 9.5 km around Dathée lake by the light of the headlamp alone. “There is indeed a full moon predicted but it is better for participants to bring their yellow vest and their lamp because we cannot guarantee a cloud-free sky that evening,” comments Pascal Mancel, president of the Man 'selle Champêtre, organizer of the event in partnership with the firefighters' friendly and the intercommunal hunting company.

The evening was a real success last year with around a hundred participants. People appreciated this formula at night. It was really good
