Philippe Choquet, a 54-year-old passionate road cyclist, is preparing for an impressive feat: an ultra-distance cycling event covering 747 kilometers with 5,500 meters of elevation gain, connecting the Principality of Monaco to the Principality of Andorra. His goal is to complete this challenging route in under 36 hours, all in aid of the Monaco Liver Disorder Association (MLD), an organization dedicated to children battling liver disease.
Choquet will depart on May 30, 2025, at 10 AM from the Prince’s Palace Square in Monaco. This event is held under the high patronage of Prince Albert II of Monaco.
Mission and motivation
“My goal is to cover the 747 km distance, with 5,500 meters of elevation gain, connecting the Principality of Monaco to the Principality of Andorra in a single stage. My aim is to complete this route in less than 36 hours,” stated Choquet.
Choquet has participated in similar cycling events before, including the Milan-San Remo Cyclo-Cross and the 7 Majors. His ambition to participate in an ultra-distance cycling event in 2025 has transformed into a noble fundraising initiative for the MLD association.
How to sponsor the charity event
As of May 6, €2,700 has been pledged towards a €20,000 goal. Sponsors are invited to visit the MLD association website to support the event.
Companies and individuals who support Choquet’s ride have the opportunity to have their logo featured on his equipment, be included in communication materials, mentioned in press releases and interviews, and receive visibility on social media throughout the challenge, with personalized thanks.
“Your support would be invaluable in carrying out this charitable adventure, and I would be honored to count on your commitment,” Choquet said.
Monaco Liver Disorder Association
The MLD association’s non-profit work seeks to encourage liver specialists, sick children, and their parents in the daily fight against liver disease. Their mission is to provide support, raise awareness, and assist in research to improve the quality of life for children affected by these illnesses.
