Golf competition and adventure raid to support Agir pour le Cœur des Femmes (Acting for Women's Hearts)

Golf competition and adventure raid to support Agir pour le Cœur des Femmes (Acting for Women's Hearts)

On September 3, the Comité départemental de la Fédération Française de Golf d'Ille-et-Vilaine organized a women's golf competition in aid of Agir pour le Cœur des Femmes, at the Rennes-Saint-Jacques golf course.

66 competitors took part. The participants benefited from a time of mobilization and awareness-raising in favor of the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Pr François Carré, ambassador for "Agir pour le Coeur des Femmes", was on hand to share prevention messages with the women present. Our Ambassador Pascale Atlan also presented the Foundation's prevention tools to all participants. 2,200 euros were raised and donated to Agir pour le Coeur des Femmes.

For their part, the Simones, two midwife friends, are supporting Agir pour le Coeur des Femmes in the Femina Adventure raid, which will take place in Guadeloupe in November. Their aim is to convey a positive image, transmit the values of surpassing oneself and helping others, and promote sport as a key element in women's health. Why Les Simones? In reference to two exceptional women: Simone Veil and Simone de Beauvoir.
