PIERRE GAGNÉ CHALLENGE

Last Saturday, Pierre Gagné from Québec City did his yearly challenge with the help of André Gagnon and other skaters. This year, the event took place on a short track ice surface in a shopping centre in Québec City. André send us this note:

No wind, a perfect ice and a big crowd cheering Pierre Gagné, 74 years old, for his 500 laps-91km. It only took 4 hours to skate the distance- under his predicted time.Pierre started doing these challenges many years ago to help raise money for the Sourdine Foundation that helps children with hearing problems. I decided to skate with him for an hour, but with my pride helping, I finally did the last 375 laps with him.

Congratulations Pierre!

André Gagnon
