AG2R LA MONDIALE's "Vivons Vélo" appeal raises money for research through cycling

On October 13, in the Pasteur Museum's "Salle des Actes" on the Institut Pasteur campus, a ceremony was held for the presentation of this year's check by AG2R LA MONDIALE, a loyal Pasteurdon partner and Institut Pasteur sponsor. The "Vivons Vélo" program, which has now been running for seven years, has gone from strength to strength, raising precious funds for research through the generous efforts of participating cyclists.

This year, 50 people who had taken part in the Paris cycle ride earlier in the day came along to the campus on Saturday to find out more about the Institut Pasteur and its founder with a tour of the museum, accompanied by curator Muriel Hilaire.

AG2R LA MONDIALE then presented the Institut Pasteur with a check for €85,919, largely exceeding the target of €80,000 announced at the Pasteurdon launch on October 10.

This year's events have once again been a great success and a wonderful reflection of public support and generosity. Preparations are already under way for the 2018-2019 season of "Vivons Vélo" in aid of the Institut Pasteur.
