Stéphanie GEYER BARNEIX
An adventurer of the extreme,
survivor of 4 breast cancers, accompanied by
of 3 world-class rowers.
46 years old, world champion of coastal rescue, Stéphanie is an adventurer of the extreme with the crossing of the North Atlantic by rowing in 2009, then the Cape Horn in 2015. But also and above all, an adventurer of life, overcoming 4 breast cancers. She carries out the expeditions with professional sportswomen.
Altruistic by nature, optimistic and committed, she created the Hope Team East association in 2015 to help sick people live better through sports.
“Nothing is more exciting than challenging yourself, exploring new territories, exceeding your limits and embarking on this amazing adventure all those who wish to believe in their dream!”
The challenge is a reason to be for the one who fights. With each crossing, Stephanie pushed her limits as if it were her last. She braved the difficulties to show that nothing was impossible.
His resilience allowed him to go through with his expeditions despite his health condition because it was inconceivable to give up.
By creating the association HOPE TEAM EAST, she has enabled many sick people to hold on to a sporting objective and its preparation, whether physical or mental. The results have been remarkable. These people, of all ages, were able to discover their bodies through this preparation and focus on the objective of their challenge. For some, these challenges have prompted the commitment of family, colleagues and friends by accompanying them throughout the preparation process.
