We ran, we swam, we cycled, we skated and we boarded – now it is time to TRI – for the good cause
WHAT: HELP US RAISE MONEY FOR THE GOOD CAUSE AND START BUILDING YOUR OWN LEGACY BY GIVING BACK TO THOSE IN NEED.
CHARITY: TEAM STREETKIDS IS A PROJECT OF THE NON-PROFIT http://www.wecare4.ch/ FOUNDED BY SWISS TRIATHLON PRO SVEN HUNGERBÜHLER. TEAM STREETKIDS IS DEDICATED TO RAISING MONEY FOR ORPHANS IN AFRICA IN ORDER TO SHOW THEM A BETTER FUTURE THROUGH EDUCATION AND BUILDING SCHOOLS AND HOMES. http://www.wecare4.ch/ IS A VERY PERSONAL NON-PROFIT – NOT CHARGING ANY HANDLING FEES OR SIMILAR. ALL PROJECT HAVE BEEN CHOSEN AND PUT TOGETHER WITH PARTNERS ON SITE IN ORDER TO GUARANTEE THE BEST BENEFIT POSSIBLE TO THE KIDS. AFTER RAISING MONEY FOR A SPORTS PROJECT TO GET THE KIDS OF THE STREET EARLIER THIS YEAR, WE ARE AIMING AT RAISING 25.000 EURO TO BUILD A NEW PLACE FOR STREETKIDS TO SLEEP AT AND FIND A HOME.
EVENT: WHILST 3 ATHLETES ARE BUILDING THE CORE OF THIS EVENT, MORE AND MORE ‚IRONMAN’ FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE JOINING IN. OUR 3 CORE ATHLETES WILL BE CYCLING, RUNNING AND SWIMMING ALL THROUGH THE MIDDLE-EUROPEAN WINTER TO CONQUER ONE OF THE TOUGHEST EVENTS IN THE WORLD OF ENDURANCE SPORTS – IRONMAN SOUTH AFRICA ON APRIL 25TH, 2010.
CHALLENGE: TRAINING FOR A MIDSEASON IRONMAN REQUIRES AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF DEDICATION AND MENTAL STRENGTH AND IS A CHALLENGE ONLY A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE WILL EVER ACCOMPLISH. THE ATHLETES ARE PUSHING THEMSELVES TO THEIR PHYSICAL LIMITS UP TO 25 HOURS A WEEK IN TRAINING FOR THIS EVENT. TRAINING FOR AN EARLY SEASON IRONMAN DURING THE COLD AND SNOWY WINTER MONTHS IN EUROPE MIGHT BE CALLED INSANE BY SOME – WE SIMPLY CALL IT – GIVING BACK TO THOSE IN NEED.
