Pauline Fontaine, Belle Âme

Respectfully Dr. Pauline, or as the Tahitian locals (French Polynesia) would say, 'Taote' Pauline, which means 'doctor', 35-year old Pauline Fontaine has a PhD in Molecular Genetics. Simply put, if a cell is the building block of life, a cancer cell is the building block of death. She has taken the better days of her life, and still taking upon herself to do so, to find the end-all for cancer. The human mind is inescapably fascinating (to me), how when she was younger and has looked up to her father, the most kind man she's ever known, 'putting others before himself', has led her to this: no stone left unturned for an elusive cure to one of the most destructive diseases ever cursed onto mankind. I speak for everyone when I say the short and unpredictable lives of your loved ones quintessentially is all about 'buying more time'. That's the goal, that's the finish line, that's the big wave Pauline is waiting to ride.
