Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I started running in 2005 with the dream of running 5km non-stop before my brother’s wedding in July. I still remember the day it happened, around a corn field in the French countryside… What a blast!

From then on running became a passion, in particular long distance running with my first marathon in Paris in April 2006 (4:36).
Since then, despite being plagued by injury regularly, I have ran 45 marathons/ultras, the longest being 88 miles during a 24 hours event.

In June 2017 I will run HARP 24 for the third time (in 2014 I ran 71 miles, in 2016 I managed 75 miles despite an Achilles injury). I have decided to raise money for HARP as I believe everybody should have a roof over their head. Homelessness can happen to anybody - regardless of their age, their gender or social background. It ruins lives, devastates families and has a costly impact on the whole of society.
