Christophe Lebrun

Completed more than 50 triathlons and half-marathons and several raids worldwide, including the Foulées de la Soie in China, the Transcappadoce in Turkey, and the Foulées de Samarcande in Uzbekistan. In addition to triathlons, Christophe has climbed several alpine peaks, including Mt Blanc. His first standard marathon was in Burgundy in 2008. Christophe is also fascinated by early polar exploration, "My mother was a bookseller, I fell in books when I was small". He has a passion for the works of writer explorers such as Jean-Louis Etienne, Christine Janin and Mike Horn. At the North Pole, he wants to live and to share his dreams as a child that such a challenge is useful. To this end, he is running the North Pole Marathon to raise money for the charity 'A Chacun son Everest' founded by Christine Janin. The charity attempts to help children affected by cancer through training courses in mountains and the ascent of "their own personal Everest". To donate to his charity, please visit www.achacunsoneverest.com . You can also follow Christophe's preparation and his commitment at www.polenord2011.blogspot.com. Christophe is a product manager for Nouvelles Images in Paris, which is also his main sponsor.
