Concluding the 2025 DEFI 800 Journey

At On Side, supporting our communities is at the heart of what we do with generosity being one of our core values. As our relay teams get some well-deserved rest, let’s take a moment to reflect on the incredible 2025 DEFI 800 journey.  

On Side employees showed unparalleled dedication and grit as they ran from Montreal to Toronto, raising funds and awareness for youth mental health across Canada! 

“Congratulations to our incredible team of runners,” said Henry Blumenthal, VP, Performance Optimization, who was part of the Quebec team. “From the first step in Montreal to the base of the CN Tower, your determination and positive spirit has proven that anything is possible. Thank you for making a difference and setting a remarkable example for us all.” 

Highlights of the event 

  • Together, our three teams raised over $30,000 of the $173,000 collected overall, supporting organizations that provide critical mental health support for youth across Canada. 
  • More than 27 runners and volunteers stepped up to represent On Side and lend their time and energy to ensure the event was a success.  

Congratulations to our runners and thank you to everyone who participated in this initiative! See you all next year!
