Montee de la Tournette 2022

Support Team Lake Aid in the Ascent of La Tournette 2022 on Sunday 4th September 

For the 5th consecutive year, Lake Aid is taking part in the legendary hike/run race “La Montée de La Tournette”. On Sunday 4th September, Team Lake Aid will climb the tallest mountain around Lake Annecy. The event starts by the lake at Angon Talloires Espace Lac and finishes at the summit of La Tournette (2,351 metres).

300 hikers and runners of all levels will take on the challenge this year. Our team will walk or run to the summit, gaining 2,000 meters of altitude, to raise money for Lake Aid. This local charity, run entirely by volunteers, promotes the integration of asylum-seeking and homeless families living in the Annecy region.

Check out the route and other details about the event here.

There are three ways you can help:

1. Join the Team! Please run or hike with us as part of Team Lake Aid. We welcome all levels of runners and hikers. Train with us, or simply join us on the 4th of September. We ask that you contribute 25€ to Team Lake Aid and you will receive a beautiful Team Lake Aid t-shirt and buff! Please note this fee does not include the registration fee for La Montée de la Tournette (20€). Please sign up to the event ASAP via this link as places are limited: https://lvo-inscription.com/monteedelatournette2022/select_competition

To join Team Lake Aid please complete the following steps before the end of July:

– donate at least 25€ using this link: https://www.helloasso.com/associations/lake-aid-chaque-enfant-compte/formulaires/1/en

– register for the event at https://lvo-inscription.com/monteedelatournette2022/select_competition; and,

– e-mail lakeaid74@gmail.com to let us know you’re joining us and tell us your T-shirt size (S, M or L, male or female) BY 15 JULY 2022

2. Make a contribution to Lake Aid by donating any amount.

As an idea:

  • 10€ allows us to take young isolated minors on a full-day bike ride with rented bikes;
  • 30€ means we can take one child to the Secours Populaire Christmas party and give them a nice present;
  • 50€ is the cost of a school bag full of all the materials a child needs to start school; and,
  • 60€ will send one child on a week-long vacation in summer with one of Lake Aid’s charity partners.

3. Help find us a corporate sponsor to finance our t-shirts!

In order for Lake Aid to put 100% of the proceeds towards helping the children, we are looking for a corporate sponsor that would be able to cover the cost of the team t-shirts! If you have any ideas, please let us know!

Thank You for your support,

Team Lake Aid
