Vivons Vélo for the Institut Pasteur: a generous sporting effort by the general public and Institut Pasteur staff

With its sport-themed fundraising initiative "Vivons Vélo" for the Institut Pasteur, AG2R LA MONDIALE is one of Pasteurdon's loyal partners. "Vivons Vélo," which harnesses the power of sport to raise money for charity, turns each kilometer cycled into donations for Pasteurdon. This year's record total was €107,500.

Every year, the initiative is supported by:

• The general public, with "Vivons Vélo" events throughout France giving people the opportunity to get together for a bike ride and explore their local area.

• The Institut Pasteur community, with a digital staff challenge.

This year, the dedication of all those who took to their bikes in aid of research was as impressive as ever.

The final organized bike rides on Saturday October 7, planned to coincide with Pasteurdon weekend, brought to an end the 2023 "Vivons Vélo" campaign, which raised a total of €107,500.

The digital challenge for Institut Pasteur staff was also a resounding success and helped raise even more money for Pasteurdon. 30 teams – two more than in 2022 – were set up using the Vivons Vélo app (representing 204 Institut Pasteur staff members) and covered a total of 27,271km in aid of Pasteurdon – nearly 12,000km more than in 2022!! Well done once again to all the Institut Pasteur's cyclists for their efforts and their support for research!
