Following the fifth edition of the Marinières en Rose, organized in Villefranche-sur-Mer, the association officially formalized a donation of 15,465 euros to the Princess Grace Hospital Center (CHPG) in Monaco. The evening of Thursday, November 5 also brought together several healthcare professionals around supportive care in the care pathway for patients with breast cancer. The next edition is already scheduled for October 2 and 3, 2027.
Les Marinières en Rose reviewed the results of their latest mobilization at an evening organized at the auditorium of the citadel of Villefranche-sur-Mer. A meeting intended to thank the volunteers, participants and partners who contributed to the fifth edition of the event, organized on October 3 and 4 last on Marinières beach.
The highlight of this meeting was the presentation of a check for 15,465 euros to the Princess Grace Hospital Center in Monaco. A sum intended to support the financing of supportive care offered to patients during and after their breast cancer treatment.
“This evening was an opportunity to thank everyone and make concrete everything we have accomplished by presenting this check of 15,465€ to the CHPG in Monaco to finance supportive care which includes socio-aesthetics, dietetics, adapted physical activity, music therapy…all kinds of things that are not covered by Social Security but are very important, essential and necessary during and after treatment”, explained Patricia Plessis, founder of the Marinières en Rose.
A round table dedicated to supportive care and a sixth edition in 2027
The evening was also marked by the organization of a first round table bringing together several healthcare professionals and specialists in supporting people affected by cancer. Among the speakers were notably representatives of the CHPG, including Laure Santori-Bini, deputy director, Dr. Stéphane Picard, head of the supportive care department, as well as dietitian Amélie Fighetti and socio-aesthetician Karlana Passavoir.
Specialists in sophrology, prevention and shiatsu also participated in the discussions, alongside a patient partner of the Nice University Hospital. The discussions focused on the role of supportive care in the medical pathway, its benefits for patients and the methods of intervention by professionals external to hospital establishments.
A first experience that Patricia Plessis wishes to repeat: “I am very happy to have been able to initiate this first round table with all these healthcare and cancer professionals. It was very interesting to have them with us. I think that next year we will have even more people.”
The founder also took the opportunity to announce the date of the next edition. The town hall of Villefranche-sur-Mer approved the organization of the sixth edition of the Marinières en Rose on October 2 and 3, 2027.
The association intends to continue mobilizing around breast cancer prevention and increase the funds returned to the CHPG. “We expect even more participants, with the goal of returning even more money to the CHPG, an ever more extraordinary mobilization, and always more smiles, life and energy”, concluded Patricia Plessis.
