It was a difficult decision which satisfies no one but that\u2019s life and everything will be done to ensure that the organization, communications and the well-being of the runner do not suffer during her absence.\u00a0 She will be present for about 5 of the 14 months of the race.<\/p>\n If our English-speaking friends have been able to follow Serge for the past few years, it is thanks to Lee.\u00a0 She follows the challenges on a daily basis via, her computer and through her translations.\u00a0 In addition to this contribution, over the years she has become a close friend.<\/p>\n Age 25, he is Laure and Serge\u2019s nephew.\u00a0 He has been requisitioned for the Run Aound the World.\u00a0 Maxime was a member of the support team on the Paris-Tokyo in 2006 and on the European Tour in 2010.\u00a0 Available and delighted, he is ready to share his uncle\u2019s new adventure.<\/p>\n Is the first female \u00ab\u00a0cameraman\u00a0\u00bb to be on one of Serge\u2019s adventures.\u00a0 She was present on the Run&Row Tour and made a very sensitive documentary of \u201cAn Unfinished Around the World Tour,\u201d soon to be released on You Tube.\u00a0 She will join the dream team at strategic places, at the four corners of the earth, to show great moments of this journey.<\/p>\n Serge\u2019s eldest son, Nicolas, was part of the trans-USA race in 1997 and in 1999 he developed and managed the first Website for the trans-Australia race.\u00a0 Nicolas lives and works in Chicago since the end of 2015.\u00a0 He will join us and give us support on the North American portion of the race, which will last 6 months.<\/p>\n Better known as Emmannuelle and Philippe, they received their nickname on Reunion Island last year when they honored us with their presence during the Run&Row Tour.\u00a0 It will be a pleasure for us all to have them be with us for a short visit, maybe several (we are crossing our fingers), in the USA, to give a hand to the small support team.\u00a0 The \u201cOuchs\u201d are always present in a good mood and with a smile.<\/p>\n Brigitte and Roger are always ready to take on a new adventure.\u00a0 We have lost track of the kilometers covered in \u201cAdrienne\u201d their camper, to join us and follow the caravan\u2019s trail.\u00a0 Once again, they will be part of the adventure and we are curious to know what kind of surprises they will prepare for us.\u00a0 Be it pancakes at the roadside, surprise arrivals when we are not expecting them, grilled cheese sandwiches for Serge\u2019s refueling\u2026.. watch this space\u2026..<\/p>\n He is \u00ab\u00a0Our\u00a0\u00bb Ren\u00e9 but he is also yours, for it has been a long time\u2026 For 10 years, his loyalty and his availability have been rudely tested, most particularly in this Around the World Tour, which he only learned about mid-December 2015.\u00a0 He is always present, and at age 67 the senior member of the Run Around the World.\u00a0 He will be present for 7 of the 14 months that the tour will last (our thanks go to his wife, Michelle, for accepting his absence).\u00a0 Ren\u00e9\u2019s motto: \u201cMy backpack is always ready\u201d<\/p>\n Second \u00ab\u00a0Tom\u00a0\u00bb of the Girard trilogy, Serge\u2019s second son.\u00a0 Thomas took part in the Paris-Tokyo in 2006 and the European Tour in 2010.\u00a0 At age 25 he will be a key element of this long journey around the world because he will be in charge of communications so you can share the important moments of this new challenge via this website and the social networks.\u00a0 He will be present 8 of the 14 months.\u00a0 With \u201cMamie,\u201d Serge\u2019s mother, Thomas was the first to be informed about this new project and without hesitation he agreed to be present.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here is a list of Serge\u2019s guardian angels, who will take turns being with him during the 14 months of the Run Around the World.
