This holiday season, the Lochmüller Lab also participated in the 24h Tremblant Relay as a part of the CHEO RI team to raise money for CHEO. This event involved a continuous 24 hour relay on the hospital grounds, and the lab members were active day and night – congratulations to all participants, as the event raised $4,083,078 in total to be donated to several different children’s hospitals, including CHEO. Check out some pictures from the action below! A special congratulations to Jarred Lau, who ran through the early hours of the morning to keep the relay going!
