"Fearless: One woman's transformational
journey from a treadmill to running the
African Continent"
At Run4Humanity, we’re all about the human connection—the incredible stories,
the shared struggles, and the victories we build together, step by step for clean water.
That very spirit, raw and real, pulses through "Fearless," the book penned by our founder, Veronique Bourbeau.
​
This book lays out her personal quest, not just for the finish line, but for a deeper purpose: to bring clean water to communities around the world.
It’s a powerful, relatable testament to how one person’s commitment,
fueled by a desire to help others, can ripple outwards, making a tangible difference. Véronique’s journey reminds us that every one of us has the capacity for something extraordinary, especially when we’re driven by kindness and connection.

“You have access to change your own inner world. I feel permission to give the best version of myself and that I am capable of reaching a new level. I know that nothing is impossible in running, like in life.”
Veronique Bourbeau
​​
Set against a backdrop of breathtaking landscapes and global adventure, Fearless retraces the author’s unlikely journey—from a mother in her early 30s who had never exercised, to a cult heroine conquering entire countries on foot and beating the boys in 444-kilometre races.
​
Along the way she shows that it’s the pursuit of a goal, not just the achievement,
that brings true meaning and deep connection with others.
The book brings readers to the starting line of her most ambitious run yet: the quest to become the first woman in the male-dominated world of ultra-marathoning to
run the length of the African continent from Cairo to Cape Town.
​
But this journey isn’t just about breaking records. It’s about bringing clean, safe water to some of the most remote and underserved communities in the world.

Prof. Tim Noakes (The Noakes foundation), South Africa
​
"No matter if you are a runner or not, Veronique's ability to tell her story is a gem to being able to gain confidence and do good - thank you Veronique!"
Rob Reid, runner of compassion, Founder of Frontrunner's BC Canada​
​
"It has been a privilege to run with distinguished ultra-runners over the past few years. What sets Vero apart is her ability to adapt to anyone else."​
