Cinglé du Mont Ventoux

The summary

The Challenge: 3 Sides, 1 Mountain, 1 Mission.

On 20th June 2026, I’m taking on the legendary "Club des Cinglés" challenge: climbing the "Giant of Provence," Mont Ventoux, from all three directions (Bédoin, Malaucène, and Sault) in a single day.
That’s 136km of riding and over 4,400m of vertical climbing—the equivalent of ascending halfway up Mount Everest on a bike.

Why I’m doing it:
I am raising vital funds for St. Vincent de Paul (SVP). In every community, there are people struggling with the hidden reality of poverty—families choosing between heating and eating, or seniors facing extreme isolation. SVP provides a practical, non-judgemental lifeline to those who need it most.
Every pedal stroke uphill is a step toward supporting someone through a crisis.

How you can help:
I’ve committed to the training and the climb; I’m asking you to help me reach the fundraising summit. Whether it’s the price of a coffee or a larger donation, every cent goes directly to SVP’s frontline work.
Thank you for backing me on this grueling journey for such a worthy cause.
