Charles Page est un aventurier et alpiniste québécois connu pour gravir les plus hauts sommets de la planète. En septembre 2023, il a atteint le sommet du Manaslu (8 163 m) et, en mai 2024, réalisé un exploit rarissime en gravissant l'Everest (8 849 m) et le Lhotse (8 516 m) à la suite en moins de 24 heures. Athlète multidisciplinaire, il participe également à plusieurs défis d'endurance tels que des ultra-trails, triathlons, épreuves de nage et marathons. Le Drummondvillois considère cependant sa dernière levée de fonds de 150 000 $ pour Opération Enfant Soleil comme son plus grand accomplissement. En avril 2025, il visera son prochain défi : l'ascension du mont Makalu (8 485 m) au Népal, son 4ème sommet de 8 000 mètres.
Lors de son talk intitulé « La source des possibles », Charles Page partage comment les imprévus l'ont poussé à se dépasser et à transformer chaque défi en opportunité. Fort de son parcours exceptionnel, marqué par l'ascension des plus hauts sommets du monde, il nous démontre que nos limites ne sont bien souvent que des illusions.EN/
