The Pontorson Firefighters' Association, in the South Channel, supported the Telethon for the second year.

306 km and 819 m of rowing were covered in 24 hours, at the town hall square, for a pledge of 2,976 euros.

An adventure born in 2023, during a simple conversation, to support research against rare diseases.

United and united firefighters

“It was a whole united and supportive team that took turns, both in the preparations and in the sporting challenge. Our youngest recruits challenged the oldest to ensure the best possible relays. The last minute replacement of a participant and organizer, injured 48 hours before the first handle pull, who turned into a supporter, or even an intervention in the middle of the night, in the most trying hours, where it was necessary to sharing an additional relay at short notice so as not to leave the odometer paused… All of this made this weekend a unique moment of sharing and mutual aid,” indicates the Association on its page on the social network Facebook.

70 merchants from Pontorson, Beauvoir, Mont-Saint-Michel and Poilley provided their support, as did the City.
