In Memory of JEAN-MARIE ALLIN
Festival Manager (2006 – 2009)
Jean-Marie Allin died at the age of 34 after a courageous 18-month battle with cancer. He was laid to rest in his hometown of Albertville, France on the 21st August 2009.
He will always be remembered for his big heart. He was an amazing friend, business partner and big daddy. We’ll never forget the laughs we shared together as we raced after our dream through the Paris streets of fire.
As we place pictures of our heroes up on the walls,
……..there,
…..up front and centre -
……………..will be yours.
Scott’s poem in memory of Jean-Marie Allin
