The Breath Passes<\/strong> (Les Cols du Souffle<\/em>) is a solidarity project created to raise awareness of bronchiolitis obliterans<\/strong>, a rare and serious lung disease that makes breathing difficult for children. It took the form of a sporting challenge: Papy Robert, 67, grandfather of Gabriel, who lives with this disease, cycled across the Alps from 8 to 24 August 2026<\/strong>, from Belleville-en-Beaujolais to Nice.<\/p>\n

Challenge completed<\/strong>: 925 km, 19,420 m of elevation gain, 19 mountain passes and 16 stages<\/strong>, all the way to the finish in Nice on 24 August 2026.<\/p>\n

Stage after stage, the ride got people talking about the disease far beyond the families it affects: in the towns along the route, on social media and in the news, from regional newspapers to television. The articles and reports are gathered on our Press page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thank you to everyone who welcomed, cheered on and followed Papy Robert, and to the partners who made this challenge possible.<\/p>\n

The challenge was supported by AFPIE<\/a><\/strong>, the French association for childhood interstitial lung diseases, which helps families affected by rare lung diseases in children: support, medical conferences and help for research.<\/p>\n

The route and the day-by-day story of the challenge remain online: lescolsdusouffle.com<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
