For this seventh edition, 24hrs Inline Montreal will once again bring together one thousand of skaters from around the world, of all ages and every level of ability, promising participants a weekend they will never forget!

Home Run for a Cure was founded to help bring us closer to a world without multiple sclerosis. Everyday, while three more people are being diagnosed with MS, exciting advances in MS Research are being made to try and change that statistic.
Les Canetons palmés introduced the Caneton (“duckling”), a flexible, multipurpose cane hanger with a variety of uses, mainly for the benefit of people who walk with canes. The Caneton allows them to securely hook, hang, lean, put down and pick up their cane, whether on a chair, against a wall, in a cloakroom or in a public washroom. This invention really makes life easier for cane users
Moreover, for every Caneton sold in Quebec pharmacies, $1 will be donated to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada. This generous partnership was made possible by the generosity of the owners of Les Canetons palmés: Lucien Girard, Aline Bussières, Jean-Paul Cormier and Marie Paquet.
For more information about this product, please contact Mélodie Lespérance at 418-529-9742 or visit www.caneton.ca.
