The fun did not stop in the UK: in Paris, our colleagues, their families and clients took on the “20kids de Paris” and “20km de Paris” to raise funds for Sur les bancs de l'école. This follows Team RBC in Amsterdam who took part in the 16km Dam tot Damloop last month and raised funds for Stichting Steun Emma Kinderziekenhuis.
