Walk, ride & roll to support disadvantaged adolescents

Sport is an important factor to keep the body and mind fit. As Swiss habitants our health is a top priority. Luckily for us we are granted an infrastructure that allows us to support that goal. Unfortunately, not everyone in this world has the same luck. That is why we made the theme “health” our focus for the year 2022. Beneficiaries of our programs in Haiti, South Sudan, Uganda, Colombia und Palestine will receive further support and knowledge for their physiological, psychological and social well-being.

Do you want to do sports and foster your health and the health of young people in developing countries? Then you have the perfect opportunity this late summer! In August and September the traditional 2h-runs/rides will be taking place in Eschlikon (TG), Basel(BS), Grabs (SG) and Olten (SO). We are glad that these sponsor runs could get organised thanks to the engagement of the organisation committees. A part of the sponsoring money will be benefiting our projects.
