On 21 September 2024, we took on a major challenge: taking part in the Triathlon des Roses in Paris. This event, dedicated to the fight against breast cancer, gave us the opportunity not only to put our physical abilities to the test, but also to contribute to a cause that is very close to our hearts.
The Triathlon des Roses stands out for its accessible format and its charitable vocation. It's a sporting event that combines swimming, cycling and running, allowing everyone to take part at their own level while supporting breast cancer research.
For this year's event, we decided to take part in relays, highlighting our team spirit and solidarity. Christine led the way in the swimming event, diving in with determination. Marine then took over on the bike, pedalling through the Parc de Saint-Cloud with energy. Finally, Cathy rounded off the triathlon by tackling the final running event with perseverance. After 1 hour of effort, we crossed the finish line together with a shared sense of achievement.
Each stage of this triathlon was a real challenge, not only for our bodies, but also for our team spirit. Together, we showed that, even in a competitive environment, cooperation and mutual support are essential to achieving our goals.
Our participation in this triathlon was not just a sporting challenge, but also a strong commitment to medical research. By taking part in this event, we helped raise vital funds to support innovative research projects in the fight against breast cancer. Our team was able to donate €1,300 to the ARC foundation. A total of €460,578 was raised to fund 4 new research projects aimed at combating the most aggressive breast cancers or those that are resistant to current treatments.
As a small company, this commitment has particular significance. We firmly believe that even small teams can have a significant impact when they join forces for a common cause. This triathlon reflects our desire to make a difference, even on our own scale.
The Triathlon des Roses reinforces our determination to continue supporting medical research and to play an active part in similar initiatives throughout the year.
We created our company to contribute to the common good, and this triathlon, a true celebration of solidarity and commitment to health, is a perfect example.
