“Since day one at Défi sportif AlterGo, I keep seeing life differently because the Défi has led me to see people with limitations in a new light. It is as though I had lived my entire life wearing sunglasses. And then, I get to the Défi, and there’s a little kid who takes them off. He says to me—Come on. Come here. Come and see it through my eyes.”

"In their school environment, children are accustomed to having more difficulty or being less skillful in physical education classes. By participating in Défi sportif AlterGo, they are encouraged to practice a sport. They are motivated, which helps them develop a passion and the desire to engage in activities in the community." ― Isabelle Marcoux, physiotherapist Centre de réadaptation Marie Enfant
