Camille, 8 years old and suffering from a rare disease, cycled 70 kilometers to meet Mbappé

The beautiful story began last January during the Ligue 1 match between PSG and Brest (2-0). Kylian Mbappé celebrates his goal by saying to the camera: “This is for you, Camilla”. The 2018 world champion had already reacted for the first time on his Twitter account in favor of the young girl who had been the target of mockery and insults on social networks after begging her idol to stay at Paris SG in a video.

“The violence of the comments for a kid… We are really hitting rock bottom. It would be a question of pulling yourself together a little“, he condemned before supporting his young supporter: “I also wish you a happy new year my little Camille. Keep fighting like you do, you teach us all a lesson in life”.

Signs of attention that deeply touched the child to the point of wanting to travel 70 kilometers (140 round trip) to thank the star and raise funds for his association A Smile for Camille. A huge challenge for her.

Indeed, the latter suffers from Vacterl syndrome, a rare disease that affects one in 200,000 newborns. For her, this means “malformations in the heart, lungs, spine, limbs and muscles all over the left side of the body, as well as a single kidney”explained his father, Sylvain, to the Parisian.

But nothing scares this brave warrior. “I am ready. I trained well, 30 kilometers every day. What gives me strength is to think of all the sick children, because it is for them that I am going to do this challenge., had entrusted the young girl before the departure. Leaving on August 22, Camille took a little over two days to arrive to a standing ovation at the Parc des Princes where, according to her father, a surprise awaits her. A meeting with his idol.
