October: Breast cancer awareness month

Hi everyone,

Some updates on this 2017 Pinktober month.

As some of you may have seen, we recently organised a small money raising campaign linked to our CEO Michael's participation in the 20km of Paris, a charity race that took place in Paris, France on the 8th of October.

We encouraged people to share, like or comment on our post, thus raising 1 to 5 euros for every action. All in all, with your help we've managed to collect 2 000 euros!

This sum was given to a charity organisation based in France - "A chacun son Everest" (Eng. - Everyone has their own Everest).

The aim of this organisation is to help women who underwent beast cancer treatment, as well as children who had treatment for leucemia, to recover in a healthy and friendly environment. Situated in Chamonix, Haute-Savoie, France, near the famous Mont Blanc, "A chacun son Everest" has been organising week-long stays filled with different outside and inside activities (sports, walks, seminars, etc) since 1994. It has already helped 4 360 children and 825 women!

If you wish to learn more about their work, here is the link to their website (attention: the website is in French): http://www.achacunsoneverest.com/.

So we'd like to thank those who participated and who made it possible for us to gather this sum and help make someone's recovery easier and more pleasant!

How about you? What similar actions have you heard of/participated in?

What are your feelings towards it?

Thank you!
