“The moments of respite my daughter Harley spends at Le Phare allow us to catch our breath, think about other things, and live as normally as possible, knowing she is well cared for. It also gives us the chance to give our two sons the attention they need and deserve.” — Vanessa, mother of Harley, age 5
It all began in September 2019. Michael Lavoie, a neighbor of Le Phare and a committed citizen, decided to walk alone from Québec City to Montréal to support children in pediatric palliative care.
His challenge: 250 km and $15,000 raised.
Three years later, in 2021, Michael was no longer walking alone: he invited people from his neighborhood to join him. The Walk for Le Phare was born. Since then, the event has become a key community gathering — a celebration of solidarity and hope, supported by hundreds of walkers, volunteers, and partners. $200,000 raised in 2024.
