History of the Fondation Le Bon Pilote
The Fondation Le Bon Pilote was founded in 1995 by Gilles Lafleur, himself suffering from retinitis pigmentosa. The purpose was to support organizations providing services to promote improved living conditions of people with a visual impairment. Today, he is no longer at the helm of the organization, but he still uses the attendant services for some of his trips.
Since 2011, the number of trips made by the organization has kept growing and the number of members has tripled, but many people are still unable to benefit from the service and members sometimes even have to limit their trips. This is why he would like to see the organization increase its services. Humanitarian and financial assistance are needed and desirable to assist more people who really need it.
