Courir pour Raf, en Virtuel

Running for Raf ~ Edition 2026
Inspired by the legacy of their beloved star, Jeanne Ruelle and her team are organizing "Running for Raf," an ambitious fundraising run set to take place from July 23rd to July 24th, 2026. This event is a heartfelt tribute that aims to raise awareness and support for Les Mamans Lumineuses (@lesmamanslumineuses), an association dedicated to helping families dealing with the loss of their loved ones.
The route spans approximately 100 kilometers from Lyon to Valence, connecting runners not just through physical distance but also by a shared sense of purpose. This journey is more than a run; it’s a poignant reminder that even in moments of sorrow and remembrance, there lies strength and hope for the future. Jeanne will be joined on this path by her mother Marie-Astrid and their faithful companion Isis.
Those who wish to participate can do so at any point during the event period from July 23rd through July 25th, choosing a route that resonates with them personally or even opting for alternative forms of physical activity such as walking, cycling, swimming, or hiking. The goal is not just about covering distance but about finding personal meaning in each stride.
Dossards are available for purchase to support the cause; however, there's no obligation to run if you choose this option. Your contribution can take any form that feels meaningful and comfortable—whether it’s a long walk through your local park or an invigorating swim at sunrise. The event encourages participants to honor their own stars in whatever way they see fit.
As the day approaches, Jeanne will share her training journey with Isis, offering insights into how she prepares both physically and emotionally for this monumental run. Her dedication serves as a powerful example of resilience and love, inspiring others to find their strength in memory and hope.
Join "Running for Raf" if you feel called by the spirit of remembrance and support, contributing to a brighter future for families navigating through loss and healing.
