Reason for Participating in NOMAN: "This is more than a race;
​
it is a call to action. In Europe, boys today have the same lifetime
​
cancer risk caused by HPV as girls. This is a ubiquitous public
​
health issue, but also solvable – there are two vaccines that protect
​
against the deadliest HPV types, yet only half the population has
​
vaccine access.

I’m impatient, eager, and desperate to eradicate this devastating

disease. I’m participating in NOMAN because I don’t want a single

person in the world to go through what I went through:
​
watching the most important, beautiful person in my life pass away
​
from a preventable cancer… painfully, and prematurely."

Tristan founded The HPV and Anal Cancer Foundation with his two sisters
​
Justine and Camille after losing his mother Paulette to stage IV anal cancer,
​
caused by HPV, in 2010. Paulette passed her sincere positivity (she was
​
especially sublime in the darkest of moments) on to Tristan, causing him to
​
believe that nothing is impossible when tackled with the right attitude (even
​
eradicating HPV-related cancer!).
​
After starting as analyst at Moore Capital, strategist and portfolio
​
management roles at Clive Capital, Tristan co-founded Taurosso Capital, a
​
commodity derivatives hedge fund, where he works today. From New York,
​
New York, Tristan is passionate about ice hockey and still plays in London,
​
UK, where he lives.
