Organized by the Pediatric Research Foundation’s Young Leaders Circle, the Full Speed Challenge (formerly known as bécanes et bottines) is a virtual sports team challenge where participants accumulate kilometers and donations. An adventure that lets you push your limits, connect with other sports enthusiasts and make a real difference for the PRF.
