INITIATIVE

My journey took a decisive turn in 2018 when my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. This life-changing moment led me to become a caregiver, facing major challenges: lack of awareness, limited understanding of the disease, and the stigma surrounding mental disorders.

In 2021, my father, in a rare moment of lucidity, shared one final wish: to support the fight against Alzheimer's. This inspired the creation of 5IBA, an initiative dedicated to brain health, education, and prevention, giving a voice to patients and caregivers, with sport as a powerful messenger.

The five Ironman races I have organized are a way of raising public awareness. More than just physical challenges: 3.9 km swim, 180.2 km bike ride, 42.2 km run, they carry a deeper message: Pushing the limits to overcome diseases.
