Lâches pas! (Don't give up!)

Some of our earliest memories are of our dad teaching us how to ride a bike. He was always right there beside us, running alongside, holding onto our seats until we found our balance. Eventually, he’d let go, and we’d fly forward with smiles that matched his.

​

Throughout our lives, sports and activity have always been something we shared with him—whether it was biking, cheering us on at soccer or rugby games, or simply reminding us with his favorite words: “Lâches pas!” (“Don’t give up”). He has always been our role model, the one who encouraged us to keep pushing forward no matter how steep the hill.

​

When our dad, René, was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma in September 2023, we were faced with a new kind of hill to climb - one that no training could prepare us for. 

​

We’re riding not only for our dad, but also for anyone else battling cholangiocarcinoma, and for the friends and families whose lives are impacted by it.

​

Thank you, C3, for allowing us to share our story. We hope it inspires others to join, ride, and share their own journeys too.
