Cushman & Wakefield France has decided to rally the fight against muscular dystrophies
and actively support Téléthon 2007.
Thanks to Téléthon, the French Association against Muscular Dystrophies (AMF) has already
obtained significant results in the struggle against the disease. Created in 1958 by sufferers
and sufferers’ parents and recognised by the Authorities in 1976, AFM has a clear target: to
vanquish neuromuscular diseases which kill muscles one by one.
Cushman & Wakefield France has therefore decided to organise a 12 km course that every
participant will either run or walk. The route will be approved by the Préfécture de
Police and the City Hall beforehand.
The course starts at 11/13 avenue de Friedland, the C&W head office in France on
Friday December 7 at 1:00 PM. The arrival is scheduled for 5:00 PM at the VIP ROOM, on
the Champs Elysées 75008 Paris. The location which belongs to Jean Roch is generously lent
to C&W to organise the event.
Anne Roumanoff, the godmother of
Téléthon
Paris, will join us in the VIP space from 6:00 PM to thank us in person for our commitment.
She will also sign her new DVD full of brand new sketches sold at 15 € and launched specially
for the event. All the money of the sale will be donated to Téléthon 2007.
You are therefore more than welcome to join our efforts. If you want, you can also buy
kilometres run or walked by Cushman & Wakefield employees and help Téléthon “funds-o-meter”
go up. Cushman & Wakefield France has more than 200 employees which are all eager to
actively participate in the social responsibility of their company. Each donation is 66% tax
refundable. It is of course perfectly clear that the amount donated depends on individual
responsibility. They make up for the sole source of income of Téléthon. You can also follow the
operation on our website
