Every year, close to 20,000 people gather at Maisonneuve Park in the hope of one day living in a world without breast cancer.

Along with Mitsou, the Foundation's spokesperson for the fifth year, other public figures will be running, including a team of radio hosts from RockDétente Montreal, consisting of Joël Legendre, Sylvie Lauzon and Isabelle Lacasse, as well as a team of Olympic athletes. Two VJs from Musique Plus will also be participating.
