UNICEF is an organization specializing in improving the condition of children around the world ๐. They're kind of like superheroes! And this year, they've noticed that running works quite well and that runners love new challenges, so they're organizing a super race ๐ช. The fundamental point is to raise funds to ensure sufficient nutrition for children ๐ด. Today, 1 in 4 children under 5 suffer from malnutrition. Yet, good nutrition is essential for the health and development of children. Their long-term goal: eliminate hunger, ensure food security, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture ๐บ๏ธ.

Boulogne-Billancourt is ideally located near several must-see attractions: Visit the famous Chรขteau de Versailles and marvel at its sumptuous gardens โจ. But above all, explore Paris and its countless monuments, like the Eiffel Tower or the Louvre, just half an hour by car and also a few minutes by RER! ๐ In Paname, the range of activities is endless! ๐ซ You can, for instance, enjoy a family stroll in the heart of the Saint-Cloud park, a real haven of peace ๐ธ. Hop Hop Hop, a bit of culture! For a fascinating outing, discover the Louis Vuitton Foundation with its contemporary art exhibitions ๐จ.
