The idea was born from the experience of a patient’s illness. Very surrounded by the medical team during the treatments and the surgery, she experienced a huge void from the moment she found herself in remission. It is this “after” that Cécile Reboul wanted to take care of by creating the “Skin” association, to allow a return to life in sport or art.

How to reconnect with healing and reconnect with society? Cécile Reboul, who survived breast cancer, offers to help patients in the aftermath of cancer, a period that can be painful to live. Many associations are very present during the disease, none at the time of remission. His solution, create a patient-accompanying duo with a project to be implemented after one year. Objective of the association: rebirth in action, creativity and self-transcendence.

When they talk to us about remission, healing, in fact, it’s a great void

Mathilde Bernin, patient

Mathilde Bernin lives in Ile-de-France. Suffering from breast cancer, she was treated at Saint Joseph Hospital in Paris. For this patient, art therapist in professional life, everything stopped in September 2020 when she finished her treatments. The great emptiness, the fear that it will start again, the uncertainty of tomorrow. His membership in Skin opens up new possibilities for him. The association will put her in touch with Céline Guilhermet, the artistic and marketing director of Les Georgettes by Altesse who volunteered to accompany a patient in an artistic creation. The two young women are both graduates in arts and crafts and have attended the same school. Together, they are offering a collection of jewelry-talismans which will be presented for Pink October 2022. Part of the profits will be donated to the Skin association.
