Follow L’Écho de la Presqu’île
Evelyn Le Maréchal is involved in the next edition of the Raid Amazones, organized until December 1, 2024 in the heart of the temples of Angkor, in Cambodia.
100% feminine and 100% supportive, this raid brings together no less than 300 participants from all over the world to take on intense sporting challenges and share an extraordinary human adventure.
A real challenge for this resident of La Turballe, near Guérande (Loire-Atlantique) who was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2022.
“Sport is treatment”
Evelyn is currently undergoing hormone therapy and sees sport as much more than a discipline, as she confides to the Echo de la presqu'île:
»It’s a treatment, a medicine. Without sport, I have even more pain “
“You dream it, you can do it”
After a painful personal period, she found her strength thanks to the support of sportsman Charles Bodard. “He told me: You dream it, you can do it.” And she's going to do it.
The Amazon Raid allows him to convey a message of resilience.
I would like to create momentum for women so that they realize that they must not give up, that they must seek the strength within themselves.
Run for cancer research
Evelyn's team is running to support the Gustave Roussy Cancer Center in Villejuif and the IASO (Atlantique Institute of Oncological Care) in Saint-Herblain, and more particularly research into triple negative breast cancer.
“Never give up”
Evelyn signed up alongside Hélène Changleur and Mathilde Renel, her two teammates from Pontoise and Saint-Germain. Their team, The Surprising Tortues, has the number 335. They will face six days of varied events: mountain biking, canoeing, trail running, archery. Before giving way in the afternoon to meetings with the local population.
Cancer taught me to put my body at the center of my life. I want to help other women to never give up.
