As part of her personal challenge, Apolline Bertin, a student at Ecole Centrale de Lille, has launched a unique sporting challenge: cycling from Paris to Copenhagen in 15 days!

Beyond the sporting aspect, it is also an opportunity to support a cause close to her heart in the shape of a fund-raiser for the Fondation des Femmes (Women’s foundation) to combat violence against women and, more generally, discrimination against women.

To support her and her team-mate Zoé, you can take part in their online kitty. Your donations will go entirely to the Fondation des Femmes.
