Created by Georges Mauduit, vice world champion in giant slalom in 1966, in memory of three friends international ski champions suffering from Multiple Sclerosis, this fun and friendly competition reminds us that physical activity is beneficial both for health and for the patient morale, and improves the quality of life for patients.

So many athletes continued to face challenges despite their illness. In 2015, more than 25000 euros were raised during the Georges Mauduit Challenge and enabled the French League against MS to participate, among others, in the International Alliance for Research on Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PMSA), for which it today there is no treatment. This Alliance also allows international coordination of research laboratories in each member country in order to accelerate the arrival of treatments and improve the quality of life of people affected by MS.

Scramble competitions for 2 are open to everyone. The green fees and individual donations from the various events are donated to the French League against Multiple Sclerosis. Sanofi Genzyme, loyal and precious partner, is an actor engaged in multiple sclerosis who will accompany the League on all competitions.

In addition to this institutional support, there are partnerships with the Sofitel Thalassa sea & spa establishments in Biarritz, Quiberon and the Gulf of Ajaccio, the clothing brand FUSALP, the equipment manufacturers Taylormade, Back Skin, David Musty Putters, Peter Fleming, Golf Club Maker Bidart, the ZAK design brand, the hotel Restaurant La Nivelle as well as the publisher of the Swing-Féminin.com guide.
