From June 5 to 16, 2023, theUnafam organize the 9e edition of Psycyclette, a 1,400 km cycle tour once morest received ideas and a daring challenge: cycle the roads of France, negotiate bends, climb hills and descend them. Just like in life!
More than 150 “psycyclists” (people living with mental disorders, relatives, carers, Unafam volunteers and experienced cycle tourist friends) will meet the inhabitants of the towns crossed. An original way to testify differently to break taboos and prejudices regarding mental illnesses.
“Whether you are a citizen living with mental disorders or not, whether you are a carer or not, an athlete or not, what matters is that we live this human adventure together. With Psycyclette, we bring the destigmatization of mental disorders to the four corners of France. What is striking are the proud smiles of everyone at the finish and the enormous solidarity between the participants. We can clearly see that the link is real, that it is there, that it is possible. underline Marie-Jeanne Richard, President of Unafam.
