From September 28 to October 4, 2025<\/strong>, twenty-two women will embark on a unique adventure: 250 kilometers by bicycle<\/strong>, from Cavaillon to S\u00e8te, passing through iconic landscapes such as Avignon, Pont du Gard, Arles, Aigues-Mortes, and Palavas-les-Flots.<\/p>\n

The initiative, named “Les Roses du Sud \u2014 p\u00e9dalons ensemble contre le cancer du sein!”<\/strong>, blends sport and solidarity with a powerful message: to restore confidence and strength to women affected by breast cancer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

The inspiration behind the project<\/strong><\/h4>\n

H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Girardin-Josquin, physiotherapist and president of the event, recalls the origin of the idea: in 2022, a documentary about the Savoyard initiative “\u00c0 la mer \u00e0 v\u00e9lo”<\/em>, promoted by the association 4S to support women with female cancers, sparked inspiration.
“I wanted to create a similar project in Southern France, with the support of R\u00e9seau SAGE, offering a path to care and rebirth,”<\/em> explains Girardin-Josquin.<\/p>\n

The goal is clear: to get patients and survivors back in the saddle<\/strong>, restoring confidence in their bodies and in the future.<\/p>\n

\n

The power of solidarity<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The project was made possible thanks to a budget of \u20ac36,720<\/strong>, covering accommodation, meals, transport, bicycle rental, equipment, support staff, communication, medical support, and insurance.<\/p>\n

Among the key partners is Cr\u00e9dit Mutuel d\u2019Avignon Saint-Roch<\/strong>, chaired by Jean-Pierre Lenzi and directed by Mathieu Bonnet. Girardin-Josquin notes:
“Their generosity and responsiveness were crucial in making this dream come true.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

The route: stages and events<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Departure is scheduled for Sunday, September 28 at 10:00 a.m.<\/strong>, from Place de la Mairie in Cavaillon.

    \n

    A message of hope<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    “Regaining trust in one\u2019s body means regaining boldness in one\u2019s life”<\/em> \u2014 this is the heart of Les Roses du Sud<\/strong>.
    Sport, solidarity, and sharing come together to form not just an event, but a journey of rebirth.<\/p>\n

    The entire initiative will be captured in a 26-minute documentary<\/strong>, telling the personal stories and collective impact of the project.<\/p>\n
