Two Women. One Desert. A Shared Mission.

Neurodivergent children make up nearly 1 in 5 of the world’s youth, yet their needs remain largely unmet, underfunded, and misunderstood.


We have founded Allez de L’Avant, to advocate for change that can convert this crisis into opportunity.

The Trophée Roses des Sables

In October 2026, we will be competing in the Trophée Roses des Sables, a women-only 4x4 navigation rally across the Moroccan desert.

LET'S MOTIVATE FOR CHANGE TOGETHER

As our 'maiden' mission, we are planning an extraordinary journey. We want to use this initiative to 'drive' debate on how to 'accelerate' the solutions we need to solve the challenges confronting neurodiverse young minds.


We invite you to follow our adventure, working across borders, to help us promote awareness for this critical cause.

Introducing "Les Mirages Féroces"

We are two cousins from opposite sides of the globe, united by a love for adventure and a deep commitment to making a difference.
