Laurence, Brigitte Macron’s daughter, mobilizes for a solidarity sports challenge across 12 cities
Wearing a pink shirt, Laurence Auzière joined the Odysséa mobilization in Paris, on the occasion of Pink October. A cardiologist and daughter of Brigitte Macron, she is participating in a charitable run included in a circuit of 12 cities, from La Plagne to La Réunion.
In brief: The Parisian stage was held at the Château de Vincennes on October 3 and 4, 2026. This sporting challenge combines running, walking, and fundraising for organizations engaged against breast cancer.
Laurence Auzière joins the pink wave in Paris
In an Instagram story published on Sunday, October 4, Laurence Auzière was seen wearing the pink Odysséa t-shirt, ready to participate in the Parisian event. Her presence provides particular visibility to the occasion, without displacing its essence: thousands of people gathered around prevention and solidarity.
According to information reported by Gala on the Odysséa challenge, the event organized at the Château de Vincennes on October 3 and 4 gathered 52,000 participants and collected 1.1 million euros. These figures reflect a mobilization far larger than just a simple sporting event.
A sporting challenge driven by a journey between medicine and art
Laurence Auzière works as a cardiologist and has also developed an activity in contemporary art with her partner Matthieu Gasser, under the name Graffensttaden. She conducts these activities away from political life, while regularly being associated with her mother Brigitte Macron’s news.
Her participation in a race dedicated to the fight against breast cancer echoes her medical profession, without needing to assign her an official role in the organization. To discover another view of her public journey, Grazia discusses her world with Matthieu Gasser.
Odysséa brings together 12 cities around solidarity
The circuit announced for 2026 connects La Plagne, Nantes, Toulouse, Bayonne, Chambéry, Villeneuve-d’Ascq, Dijon, Brest, Marseille, Paris, Cannes, and La Réunion. This network allows participants to take part in a race or a walk near their homes, while the funds are intended to support local initiatives.
Founded in 2002, the Odysséa association organizes sporting events related to the fight against breast cancer. The funds raised contribute, among other things, to the work of institutions and associations such as Gustave Roussy, the League Against Cancer, or the Paoli-Calmettes Institute. The narrative of the 12 stages highlights the national dimension of this mobilization.
Pink October: sports in service of prevention
Each year, Pink October reminds us of the importance of screening and the reality of breast cancer. In this context, the charitable race transforms a health message into a collective experience: we walk, we run, and we contribute to a fundraising effort for research or patient support.
This alliance between sports and solidarity explains the strength of the “pink wave”: it makes visible a cause that affects many families while supporting concrete actions. Laurence Auzière thus joins a movement driven by participants from very different backgrounds.
