On Thursday, May 30, 2024<\/strong>, the Children Without Cancer City<\/strong><\/a> race returned to La D\u00e9fense<\/strong><\/a>, flooding the heart of Europe\u2019s largest business district with an incredible wave of pink and blue.<\/p>\n

For a few hours, a sea of 2,000 runners and walkers, including over 60 committed companies, took over the streets of the \u201cFrench City\u201d during a solidarity lunch break, all united by a common goal: to accelerate research against the leading cause of disease-related death in children over the age of one in France and Europe.<\/p>\n

Patricia Blanc, founding president of Imagine for Margo<\/strong>, enthusiastically said: “This year, we were SOLD OUT for this solidarity event against pediatric cancer. The mobilization at La D\u00e9fense was exceptional, with 2,000 runners and walkers, all putting their strides to good use for a great cause. Thanks to their dedication and that of their companies, we continue building the \u2018WIN\u2019 we all hope for. After this amazing day, I have one message: GO, RUN, WIN!”<\/em><\/p>\n
