“His smile should be reimbursed by Social Security”
“I found myself a prisoner of my body, in a wheelchair” confided Olivier Goy in an already gripping interview with Yahoo. This Saturday, June 29, 2024, sitting in this same wheelchair, the father came to tell his story on the set of “La grande semaine”. Since he can no longer speak, it is thanks to a tablet and artificial intelligence that Olivier Goy was able to express himself in front of Ophélie Meunier and her group of columnists, as well as Pierre Niney, also a guest. The opportunity to look back on this day when, at 45, everything changed for him, while he was at the zenith of his career as an entrepreneur. When he was diagnosed with Charcot’s disease, incurable, in October 2020, after a long medical wandering. “I was a healthy patient. Four months before the diagnosis, I was still doing 50-kilometer bike rides, but I couldn’t hold a tennis racket,” he explained.
Devastated by the terrible news, Olivier Goy learns that he only has three to five years to live. But thanks to a psychologist, the father is holding on: “I have to live intensely despite the news of my imminent death, after all, we are all going to die.” Since 2021, Olivier Goy has been involved in media coverage and awareness of Charcot’s disease. And the man recounted all this with a great sense of humor and a broad smile on the set of “La grande semaine”.
