This Sunday, April 7, more than 23,000 runners will set off Paris marathon and among them, a sportsman from the North, Julien Provenzano, young ant very committed. He will run for the benefit of a charity, Action Against Hunger.
Julien started practicing judo in 2000, at the age of 6. He became a club assistant then a coach since he was 18. Passionate about sports since he was little, he is also a sports teacher in a family home in Le Cateau-Cambrésis and gives judo lessons at the Anor-Mondrepuis Dojo.
A committed and united race for Action Against Hunger
Every year, the Schneider Electric Paris Marathon offers the opportunity to run for yourself, but also for others. The principle is simple: open a kitty on the solidarity bib platform for the benefit of one of the associations offered, collect at least €420 in reference to the 42 km and thus obtain your bib.
A solidarity marathon for this runner from the North
Since 2012, more than 6 million euros have been collected for all the associations. This system is becoming more and more popular and young people like Julien are taking advantage of it.
“With a small group of friends, we had the idea of marking our 30th birthday by doing the marathon“, he continues. Julien has done one and only race before: a half-marathon in Reims in October. He completes the 21 km in 1 hour 43 minutes.
“I have always been passionate about the associative sector. That’s why I give a lot of my time to the Dojo, to the family home, which is an association, and that’s how the idea of making a solidarity marathon. It was up to me to choose the association I wanted to represent. I love to travel. I have always been kind to others and the poverty in other countries touches me. This is why I chose the association ofAction against Hunger“, he concludes.
€650 raised
Julien’s bib was validated a few months ago, since he validated the sum of €650. It is only from this moment that he can claim to run.
It was a small succession of events that made Julien embark on this new objective. A group of 6 friends, the only one in solidarity action, the machine is launched. Julien approaches his race calmly. He trained with his friends. “It’s a small collective project that helps maintain motivation and it’s interesting to do it together. It will make beautiful memories“, he concludes.
