Ex-Miss France Amandine Petit is preparing to take on a challenging journey from Caen to Paris, covering 300 kilometers by running and cycling. The event will begin on Sunday, September 27, and is aimed at raising money for Alzheimer's disease research, a condition that took the life of her grandmother. Amandine will be joined by Frédéric de Lanouvelle, a cyclist with multiple world records to his name. The two met six months ago at a Gala hosted by the Alzheimer's Research Foundation, where they bonded over their shared experiences with the disease—Amandine lost her grandmother, and Frédéric lost his mother to early-onset Alzheimer's. Together, they aim to use their combined efforts to support the cause. Amandine explained to Le Parisien that there is currently no effective treatment for Alzheimer's, and she has always promised to honor her grandmother's memory. In her grandmother's eyes, she was the most beautiful, and this journey is both a tribute and a fundraising effort. The event will take place in several stages, with stops at Pont-Audemer, Rouen, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, and finally arriving in Paris on Wednesday, September 30. Along the way, Amandine and Frédéric will stay with local residents, and she has invited her social media followers to join them for parts of the trip. To support their cause, the pair set up an online fundraising page, which has already received over 1,500 euros in donations. Amandine is already envisioning the future of this event. "We are all affected by Alzheimer's disease," she said. "Of course, I would like a second edition of this race, then a third! Let it become an annual event with routes in other regions." Her goal is to turn this personal challenge into a lasting movement that brings awareness and support to those impacted by the disease.
