French patient Emmanuelle Tarquini is on an important date in March, the “Women’s Month”. On the morning of the 19th,
she and her teammate, Cécilia Merló, left from
harbour of Barcelona for Morocco, where they are taking part in the 27th edition of the Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles, the only off-road competition worldwide exclusively for female competitors.
In order to participate, Tarquini has
had to face a much bigger challenge than riding in a 4×4 jeep for 2500
kilometres through the Moroccan desert. Her great test has been to
overcome the difficulties caused by the Arnold-Chiari I Syndrome, that
was bringing about insufferable headaches, also neck pain and
paresthesias in her right body half.
