With each swim, Madswimmer invests its time and money, for charity. We put ourselves at risk; we conduct endless research and investigate meticulously; we sacrifice a lot for these swims, for charity. None of us are saints. We’re normal everyday people out to prove what normal everyday people can do when they put their minds to helping others.
Our hearts are anchored in South Africa. We will cross the deepest oceans to promote development here. In transforming ourselves in the process, we like to think we’re transforming our country from the inside-out.
These swims are dangerous. But the danger is a drawcard. The more dangerous the swim, the more we, as individuals, need to invest. In a life-threatening swim, we invest everything. If we don’t, how can we expect donors to invest in us?
Madswimmer hopes to do South Africa proud to attempt a world first by swimming lake Ojos del Salado in Chile in December. Swimming of Lake Harris Tarn in Kenya on 22 June will be the start of this challenging expedition.
