“There must have been a lot of people.”, but they were finally only three, for lack of authorizations, for this white march organized yesterday morning. Regardless, the memory of Manon Guyot, living in Roquemaure, was honored with dignity. His mother Sophie Martin and his two sisters retraced on foot the fatal course of their late. On July 28, 2022, the 23-year-old girl was violently hit by bicycle, as she was returning from the Gallinière farm, in Roquemaure, where she was taking care of the animals.

A woman with a big heart, invested in several causes including blood donation, she wanted at all costs to share her bone marrow, as her mother says.

“This is how she continues to live”

“We decided to donate his organs. Because of the shock, only the arteries of his legs, his kidneys and his liver could be removed. It is 24 children who could be saved thanks to my daughter, my princess . This is how for us, she continues to live”confides his mother, taking the opportunity to spread a message: “I would like to be able to meet the families who have benefited from his organs. It would really be a big step. The only thing we can do is write a letter to the attention of the recipients”. Only these have the leeway to manifest themselves or not. The fact is that so far, Sophie Martin has had no news from the hospital coordination center for organ and tissue removal, the transmission belt between the two parties. “It’s not that it’s disappointing, but it would be a pleasure to be contacted. Manon was someone who was fully committed, determined”. Little sister Léna also has wonderful memories of Manon: “She was nice, she often played with me”. The big one, Mélodie, also : “She’s someone who always had her heart on her sleeve. She always put others before her. She was funny, she was the family clown, she was always the andouille”.
