Sometimes, watersports have something mystic : This story is about Stand Up Paddling (SUP)
Watersports, i.e. Stand Up Paddler Michele V.S. CANCER
Watersports brings us on front of Mother Nature elements … they brings us away out human nature and balance our body and mind. Sometimes, we are told stories about people that seems too powerful to be human …
After having decided to make something inspiring out of her her illness … she left the US to go Stand up Paddling on the Ganga (in India).
This story is about Michele : such an inspiring women. During the last month of her life she knew she was condemned to death by Cervical Cancer. She decided to show the world what a human being can BE … courage and incredible will linked to a real lesson of life … and SUP 700miles on the GANGA river.
Enduring 700 miles down the Ganga river on a stand up paddle board, Michelle set up a new SUP World Record to bring the light on Cervical Cancer prevention !
Nothing more is to be said … than the paper she left as a last message on her last day on earth.
“MAY I BE A GUARD FOR THOSE WITHOUT ONE, A GUIDE FOR ALL WHO JOURNEY ON THE ROAD,
MAY I BECOME A BOAT, A RAFT OR A BRIDGE, FOR ALL WHO WISH TO CROSS THE WATER”
“Lady Ganga” by Frederic Lumiere is the most beautiful Stand up Paddle movie that I’ve seen in all my life
So what do you think ? Have you got other stories about Cancer and Water-sports to share ? 
Is industrial modern medicine making profits with high tech treatments … and don’t focus enough on prevention … and open access to the medical care … just because modern medical services are made for generating profits … not for improving health ?
