SWITZERLAND/USA - Bianca Lerch swimming for our "School in Africa"
2023-08-10
Bianca Lerch from Switzerland launched an unusual campaign and raised €4500 in donations for the Umckaloabo Foundation! She took part in the Odyssey Alcatraz Swim on August 8, 2023, and swam from Alcatraz Island to the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco. In open water that was 13 degrees Celsius!
Showing her athletic prowess
It goes without saying that we admire Bianca’s achievement and her exceptional dedication. But we are also especially grateful for her support for our 2023 “School in Africa” campaign to help St. Steven’s secondary school in Malawi. Since the Schwabe Group matches all donations up to a maximum sum of €50,000, she ultimately raised €9,000 for the children.
The only word that describes both her fundraising and her athletic accomplishment: sensational. Hats off to Bianca!
