Chers tous,
Cette année, je participe à la course organisée par KickCancer pour une cause qui me touche profondément : la lutte contre le cancer des enfants.
Le cancer a frappé durement ma famille. En 2024, ma cousine est décédée d’un cancer du côlon la veille de ses 45 ans. Grande sportive, défenseuse du bien-être animal et dotée d’un mental d’acier, elle continue chaque jour de m’inspirer à vivre ma vie avec courage et alignement.
Je souhaite courir pour lui rendre hommage, mais aussi pour soutenir la recherche afin que d’autres familles ne perdent pas, trop tôt, des personnes aussi lumineuses. Si les enfants sont encore plus vulnérables face à cette maladie, c’est notre mission à tous de leur offrir un avenir débarrassé du cancer.
👉 Je vous invite à me soutenir en faisant un don (même symbolique) afin de financer des traitements innovants et donner de l’espoir aux familles touchées. Ensemble, nous pouvons faire une différence.
Merci de tout cœur 💙
Dear all,
This year, I am joining the KickCancer run to support a cause that is very close to my heart: the fight against childhood cancer.
Cancer has hit my family hard. In 2024, my cousin passed away from colon cancer just before turning 45. She was a great athlete, a strong defender of animal welfare, and had a truly unbreakable spirit. Every day, she inspires me to live my life with courage and integrity.
I will run to honor her memory, but also to raise funds for research, so that other families don’t have to lose such bright souls too soon. Children are even more vulnerable to this disease, and together we can help give them the future they deserve — a future free from cancer.
👉 Any donation, no matter how small, will make a difference. Together, we can turn hope into action.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💙

We have a mission. A beautiful mission. We want to cure every child with cancer.
Find new treatments, improve existing ones, and kick children’s cancer to send it far, far away forever and may it never come back! We therefore financially support scientific research, and bring together the drive, inspiration and knowledge of everyone involved. From researchers, doctors and parents to politicians and pharmaceutical companies. Only a joint effort can ensure that children with cancer are cured and better cured.
Thanks to our generous sponsors, 100% of the funds raised by you will finance innovative research projects selected thanks to the European FIGHT KIDS CANCER initiative.
FIGHT KIDS CANCER is a European call for projects that we launched together with Imaginefor Margo (France) and Fondatioun Kriibskrank Kanner (Luxembourg).
Run like someone just called you a jogger!
