It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Martin, aged 41, after an eleven-year battle with a brain tumour. Martin was diagnosed with a glioma in 2014 and faced years of treatment with great courage and resilience
When the tumour returned in 2024, he met it with the same strength and dignity. He passed away surrounded by love.
In keeping with his generous spirit, he chose to donate his brain to science to support research into neurological diseases. There is a fund raiser to support research at La Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital and the Institut du Cerveau, in Martin’s memory. https://don.institutducerveau.org/enmemoiredeMartinSA/~mon-don?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio
Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with his wife Christelle, children (Jeanne, Côme and Arthur) and loved ones at this incredibly difficult time.

The season isn’t quite over, but we’re delighted to share that the SAC team has finished 4th in its pool in the 2nd Île-de-France division — a fantastic achievement! A big congratulations to all the players for their commitment, team spirit, and the excellent level of squash displayed throughout the season. SAC Squash continues to strengthen its reputation as a respected club in Île-de-France.
We are also very grateful for the support we receive, particularly from staff members who kindly stay late on Tuesday evenings to make our matches possible. It’s always a pleasure to witness competitive play combined with excellent sportsmanship and friendly hosting, with access to food and drinks afterwards.
