The Simon challenge through the years
“The Simon Challenge, let's ride for épilepsie": a call to action to raise awareness of epilepsy and improve the quality of life of people living with this neurological disorder.
Since 2021, Épilepsie Montérégie has aimed, with this initiative, to improve society's understanding of epilepsy, by educating the public about the realities of this often misunderstood neurological condition, in addition to improving healthcare and support services for people with the condition and their families.
Simon Thibault's initiative via the Défi Simon is so important to the realization of Épilepsie Montérégie's mission, because it helps inspire and spur action in a pro-active and positive way!
Over the past three years, Simon and his team of cyclists have bravely ridden 2587 km via Gaspésie, Sept-Îles, Chicoutimi, Québec, Trois-Rivières, Montréal and Granby while reaching out to the general public to rally support for the cause.
The funds raised since 2021 have been invested in the TONIC project and the testimonial video vignettes. related to the world of men's epilepsy. Two innovative, hard-hitting projects tailored to the realities of Quebec families.
The Simon Challenge is an awareness-raising and fundraising event that goes beyond all expectations to support our work on behalf of people living with epilepsy and their families.
