Ongoing Adventures

The adventurous spirit

Mylène Paquette continues her adventures day after day. She remains deeply committed to causes and projects close to her heart, while taking on new personal challenges that allow her to grow and evolve.

Solo mom

A different approach to parenthood

Solo parenting is a challenge in itself, especially as a 42-year-old woman already raising a two-year-old child. The ocean rower had already attempted this journey in 2017 and had been preparing for it since 2016, well before her first experience of motherhood. The concept is simple: bringing a child into the world with the help of a donor. The realization of this choice, and the questions this type of parenthood raises, are far more complex. Mylène speaks openly about this unconventional decision and seeks to help shift perspectives.

Taking part in the head-shaving challenge

In 2023, surrounded by nine remarkable women, Mylène agreed to shave her head as part of LEUCAN’s “Les Audacieuses” challenge. Together, they raised more than $210,000 to support LEUCAN and help change the lives of thousands of children affected by cancer or leukemia.
