Couternon. Lou Gehrig's Disease: 24 Hours of Cycling and €12,400 Raised for the Chris Bikers Team

They did it! The Couternon team, the Chris Bikers, has completed its 24-hour cycling challenge around Lake Annecy. Brothers Corentin and Julie Nadé, along with her partner, Romain Dinis, cycled for the second year in a row to raise awareness and funds for research into Lou Gehrig's disease. A disease that affects them deeply, as the patriarch of this close-knit family, Christian Nadé, suffers from it. Wheelchair-bound but still mobilized, he was present alongside the cyclists on June 14 and 15 in Annecy.

In 2024, their team was the one that raised the most money, with €10,294. In 2025, if they came in second place, they increased their prize pool to €12,400 . "We completed eight laps of the lake and came second in terms of funds, which is perfect. We leave first place, by €100, to the team of Pauline, 22, who herself suffers from Lou Gehrig's disease and is an ambassador for the Association for Research on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS )." For Romain Dinis and his family, this 2025 edition is synonymous with a new family victory and "beautiful memories," enough to fight even harder against ALS.
