At 4 p.m., the emotion was great when Ludovic Daxhelet made a stop in his commune of Paliseul. “The family and friends were present in numberhe continues. It is obviously a highlight in a challenge that is close to my heart. From year to year, we see that there are more and more people on the banks of the roads and people are more and more generous in terms of donations. We are therefore delighted to pedal and sweat for a good cause. “
With a memory of Jules
Having a heart on the hand, RTL’s animator-star was not satisfied to pedal since he also took a lot of his time to meet people who came to encourage him in this journey. In Tellin, he was able to chat with Jules, a little boy in the 6 -year -old town who is currently fighting against leukemia. “Jules could not meet him directly because he is currently in chemo in Montlégia in Liègeexplains his dad Sylvain Libert. Through his mother, Jules was able to make a live video with Ludovic Daxhelet from his hospital room where he was under infusion. It was a very intense and emotional moment, I still have goosebumps. These are complicated moments for the whole family and see all this support and this mobilization is obviously warm in the heart. “ In addition to this nice moment, a cap in the image of Jules was affixed to the Cuistax for the rest of the adventure.
