15 intrepid souls jump into the mud for multiple sclerosis
Five kilometres and 20 obstacles through the mud, that’s what 15 staff members have overcome in order to do their part for multiple sclerosis!

It gave us great pleasure to take the leap and form a team to participate in the Total Bouette Estrie 2015 for the very first time this year. Total Bouette is a 5-kilometre course filled with 20 obstacles, where participants are forced into teamwork in order to reach the finish line!

Profits generated by the event go to finance research on multiple sclerosis. The main goals of research are to find the cause and the cure for MS, to find ways to repair the damage to the nervous system done by MS, and to bring support to people living with MS.

Multiple Sclerosis is …
“An auto-immune disease which strikes the central nervous system, including the brain and the spinal cord.” As explained by the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, no cause nor cure has yet been found.
