Miss France with a big heart, Sophie Thalmann joined the ELA family in 1998 after a moving encounter with Jérémie, a young child with leukodystrophy. Committing to ELA then became obvious for her.

Sophie Thalmann is very attached to ELA families and is happy to participate to a great number of events. As an honorary member, she has been fighting alongside the association for more than 20 years.
