Support the French Invictus Team
Honoring the past, celebrating the Present, build for the future...
The French Invictus team, which has been mobilizing since the beginning of this year, will be part of this duty of remembrance. This month, they continue their sporting challenge of running in support of French and American soldiers injured during the recent conflicts.
Follow them by sharing this adventure around you and by financially supporting this cause.
The donations collected during the month of June will be donated to French and American associations supporting wounded soldiers and their families, Le Bleuet de France and Wounded Warriors Project.
Our project aims to raise funds to assist those injured in the French armed forces through a sporting challenge. Our team will participate in running races in Virginia over the next few months: from the Virginia beach marathon on March 17 to the US Marines marathon in Washington DC on October 27, alongside our American brothers in arms.
Sport is a powerful tool to rebuild yourself, and you can be part of our adventure !
Support our team and join our cause to provide moral and financial support to injured soldiers and their families.
Your funds will be donated to two French associations helping to finance prostheses, assist with reintegration, and support them in their life projects.
