Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to congratulate a team of extraordinary adventurers who climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa in January to raise money for multiple sclerosis. Cindy and Mélanie Simard, Patrice Gagnon and Denis Lafrance—who has multiple sclerosis—rose to the challenge and, together with other participants, raised more than $600,000 for the cause.
I am extremely proud to recognize the dedication of people from my riding to a cause that touches thousands of people in Quebec and Canada.
Congratulations to the entire team. You are shining examples of commitment.
