More than $34,000 has already been raised by the two Quebecor teams for the founding of the 24h Tremblant, a three-day event which took off Friday afternoon.
The 24th edition of the foundation aims to collect donations to support the well-being of children suffering from illnesses or living with special needs.
Nearly 4,500 participants, divided into 500 teams, are on site, in the town of Mont-Tremblant, in the Laurentians, to ski, walk, run in relays and above all, contribute to donations.
To give to sick children or children with special needs, it is possible to do so on the 24h Tremblant website.

Of these teams, two are occupied by Quebecor employees.
“The idea is to consider how lucky we are to have healthy children. […] and there is something very beautiful in the idea of serving oneself for a cause that is great and that helps others,” declared journalist Félix Séguin.
“Health is precious,” added journalist Yves Poirier.
Several personalities will also be there, such as Pierre Bruneau, Valérie Chevalier and Patrice Godin.
Shows are also planned during the weekend. Attendees can expect performances from Clay and Friends, Dumas and Andréanne A. Malette, among others.
The 24h Tremblant runs until Sunday.
