Join the “Run Ottawa” event for the benefit of IRIS Mundial!
Run for a charitable cause: Good news! IRIS Mundial is registered as a non profit organization participating in the next edition of “Run Ottawa” which will take place during the weekend of May 28th and 29th, 2016. You have the opportunity to challenge yourself and run for IRIS Mundial by signing up for one of the races offered: 2K, 5K, 10K, ½ marathon or marathon. You will then be able to collect donations directly on the page that will be created for your participation. The minimum you need to raise for the organization is $ 50; it is therefore easily achievable! Our objective is to raise the sum of $ 8000; a special fund which will allow to restore the eyesight of patients suffering from cataracts or others ocular diseases, thanks to our permanent program in Labrousse, Haiti. For more information about the said event: http://www.runottawa.ca
