Dive into the authentic and inspiring story of Ana?s Quemener in her book "All I Wanted Was to Run" published by Flammarion.
Summary:
When she was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 24, Ana?s Quemener took the hit but remained determined: despite the heavy treatments she had to endure, she wanted to continue running. For her, sports is a family affair, a consuming passion shared with her father, who has always supported and trained her. Thus, to fight the disease, she made running her therapy. Her weapon for survival. So much so that barely out of trouble, the Parisian won the French marathon championships in 2016. A victory as a revenge on life.
Working as a nurse's aide by night and a high-level athlete by day, Ana?s Quemener has since continued to accumulate trophies and records. Today, she ranks among the best marathon runners in the world. With the naturalness and incredible energy that characterize her, she narrates this extraordinary journey whose strength shakes us. A unique destiny that led her to believe even more in her dreams and to chase every precious second, on the asphalt as well as in every dimension of her life.
