LaSalle’s European teams came together in October for a team cycle from Strasbourg to Munich ahead of Expo Real to raise money for those affected by cystic fibrosis (CF).
The annual bike ride they participated in is an annual effort supported by people in the property industry and raises money for Vaincre la Mucoviscidose, a charity that helps support those living with CF and improves the lives of patients and their families. LaSalle was one of the main sponsors of the event, and 2021 marks the third year of our participation.
From October 8th to 10th, 20 cyclists rode 430 kilometers, through the Black Forest from Strasbourg to Munich, arriving at the international investment property fair, Expo Real. Four LaSalle employees from Paris and two from Munich were among the cyclists. Many others donated to the cause via their official funding page, with an impressive €8,515 being raised in total.
Plans for the funds raised for Vaincre la Mucoviscidose include:
- Supporting the relocation of families from remote parts of France to parts of the country where CF support is more readily available.
- Helping young adults with CF to make life plans and achieve independence by moving into their own homes and getting them the support they need to live independently.
Although we endured chilly weather in the morning hours, the team enjoyed a beautiful landscape, riding through the Black Forest, Swabian Alps and Bavaria. This truly compensated for the efforts required over the three days, especially through climbing almost 4,000 meters. It’s always amazing how quickly people connect and bond over the physical efforts of a bike ride.
