"Against All Odds and Cancer"

Biography

I am 65 years old and one of the few amateurs competing in the 2026 Route du Rhum. A public health physician, I work with institutions in the health and social welfare sectors. With a lifelong passion for the sea, I have participated in numerous offshore races.

Beyond the sporting adventure, for the past 10 years I have sailed under the banner of Gustave Roussy, France's and Europe's leading cancer center, to support research, improved care, patient support, and, of course, prevention.
