The LBM continue to participate to the benefit action “Sport pour SEP” in favor of the remedies against multiple sclerosis. Merck SA (Switzerland) will donate 5 Swiss Francs for each point made during the tournament to the “Centre Romand” of the “Societé Suisse de la SEP”. The raised funds will be used to improve the physical activities of persons confronted with this terrible disease. Each point made has thus not only a sportive effect but also solidarity towards the persons who carry this illness.
