Health-related activities Saturday before the Section match

A stand to test your breath from 2:30 p.m. will be located opposite the entrances in the presence of a health team from the pulmonology department of the Pau hospital to welcome you and answer your questions. Fun and quick tests on your respiratory capacity will be offered.

This will then be followed by the challenge of “the greatest number of passes” from 3:30 p.m. on the square in front of the Ossau bodega. The record by the town of Bourgoin-Jallieu of 335 passes established in September 2023 will perhaps fall this Saturday in Pau. This will benefit the fight against smoking, the leading cause of avoidable mortality.

Finally, the match ball will be brought by Fanny Barbara. Diagnosed with cancer in 2015, at the age of 24, Fanny Barbara had her lung removed. This ordeal served as a springboard for him to climb mountains.

She is now a nurse and does trail running with great performances to boot. The young woman was able to find her inner strength through sport, she is the perfect illustration that one can live fully with only one lung and perform athletically.
