A gazelle at the airport

Published on 12-04-24

Marjorie Poli, Coordinator at Nice Côte d'Azur Airport's Operations Control Centre, is taking part in the 33rd Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles, the official start of which is scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday 13 April, from the start village in Monaco (Espace Fontvieille).

 

It was during a trip to Portugal in February 2023 that Marjorie met Andrea, her future team-mate.

It all started with a discussion about their shared passion for engines. One thing led to another and their shared desire to take part in this race combining humanitarian convoy and motor sport became obvious. They vowed to enter the 2024 edition of the Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles under the name of Gazelles de Figueira.

Proud of our employee for taking on an extraordinary challenge whose values we hold dear, we decided to accompany and support her in this adventure.
The team is taking part in the rally in aid of the 'One Rose, One Hope' association, which fights cancer, but not only that. The humanitarian aspect of the event has attracted them, and their aim is to try and raise money to build hospitals, and winning the election for best association would enable them to achieve this thanks to the €10,000 they could win.

Join us tomorrow on our Facebook and Instagram accounts to follow the start live.
