“I see the end of the road”
Speaking in front of the audience, notably composed of Thierry Suc, Jean-Claude Camus, Dominique Besnehard and Xavier Niel, Line Renaud said to herself “ upset » by his « activist life » : « It often gave me a sense of priorities. Scientific research is one because it can prevent illness, ward off death and sorrow “.

With your gifts, your strengths and your conviction. And then you will remember this evening, this fight initiated together ».
Touched by the welcome given by the public present at the Maison de la Recherche, located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, Line Renaud then continued: “ My friends, I can tell you that we never love life as much as when we are about to leave it. And I love life so much that I love those who protect it, those who fight for it ». « Line, when you came to Gustave Roussy, your look at us, you know, gave us a great boost of energy, we feel stronger » also declared dermatologist Caroline Robert, crowned during this ceremony and who received a check for 60,000 euros for her institute.
