Upcoming Worth Causes

I broke the Guinness World Record for the “longest duration full body contact with ice (male)” during the Servus Calgary Marathon Runners’ Expo in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. My goal was to raise awareness and support for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by supporting Autism Canada. Before that, in 2018, I was inspired by my father’s journey as an immigrant to France to run over 3,000 kilometers from Normandy, France to Rabat, Morocco, highlighting the plight of refugees. I followed that up with a 4,500-kilometer run across the United States in 2020, partnering with USA for UNHCR to support migrants and refugees worldwide.

I broke a world record by running 45 kilometres barefoot in the ski resort of Tignes in the French Alps, over 2 consecutive days, started in the week of the 3rd of February 2025. Wearing only shorts, braving the frigid temperatures, and the high altitude of the Alps mountain range, I was able to spread awareness for mental health and suicide prevention.

Juosta Napapiirille (Helsinki - Lapland)

This winter, I will attempt something truly superhuman:
Running 1,109 kilometers from Helsinki to the Arctic Circle, wearing only shorts and shoes (rarely a T-shirt), in freezing Finnish winter.

Why?
Because I believe in the power of mental health, and the deep value of cultural integration.

This project is called “Juosta Napapiirille” – “Run to the Arctic Circle”. It’s not just about endurance, but hope, healing, and human connection.

As an immigrant who suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts, this mission is personal. I’m doing this for every soul struggling silently, and for those trying to find their place in a new culture.

This journey honors my late father, who migrated from Cameroon to France in the 70s. Despite the racism and challenges, he taught us that integration is strength, and values always win.

A fundraising campaign (platform TBA) will go to Finnish organizations promoting mental health and cultural integration.
Goal: +99 999 € to raise.
Training and preparation costs: 60,000€ — for this world record level effort, I’m seeking sponsors, private donors, and associations.
