Marche de l’Espoir

Since 2025, the traditional Sunday march has been complemented by a 5 km run on Saturday. Participants collect donations from sponsors who pledge an amount per kilometer walked or run. This collective effort funds programs supporting vulnerable children and their families worldwide.
