On September 21st, the Teresa Dellar Palliative Care Residence held its 8th annual Course pour la Compassion to raise funds to provide compassionate palliative care to individuals and their loved ones, while ensuring that the residence can continue to offer its services free of charge to those in need. 

Opening its doors in 2002, The Theresa Dellar Palliative Care Residence was the first facility of its kind in Montreal and has provided care to nearly 6,000 residents. 

The event, billed as a “fun run,” welcomed over 700 participants who chose to walk, jog, or run either 1 km or the full 5 km route. 

Thanks to the generosity of the walkers, runners, sponsors, donors, volunteers, and the entire community — The Teresa Dellar Palliative Care Residence raised $307,500. Participants gather at Valois Park.
