Sven and Thomas, both Nespresso employees and triathlon enthusiasts, have decided to undertake a great action: under the slogan “Run for Smiles”, they will run the Iron Man and use the opportunity to raise funds for Just for Smiles.

Sven and Thomas, after having qualified to participate in the Ironman World Championships, in Hawaii (6-8.10.2022) and Ironman 70.3, in St. George, Utah (USA, 28-29.10.2022), will use these competitions to support access to sport for all and in particular for people with disabilities. To this end, the two friends and collaborators of Nespresso have just launched a fundraising campaign in favor of Just for Smiles.

Donations open to the general public

This support of our sports and leisure activities for people with disabilities and reduced mobility is supported by Nespresso. The company will double each donation received to CHF 2,500. The fundraising is done with the colleagues of the two athletes, but also with the general public.

Whatever the amount donated, each donation counts. For example, with 30 CHF, you can offer an hour of sailing on one of our catamarans to one of our beneficiaries, as the two friends point out on the platform made available by Nestlé.

To participate in the fundraising and to follow the two athletes during the preparation of the competition and on site, it is HERE

We will of course keep you informed of the evolution of this fundraiser, which will last one month, and of the results that these two big-hearted athletes will achieve. And above all, we say a big THANK YOU! to Sven and Thomas for this generous action and wish them a great competition! (ew) (ew)

Don’t miss the programme “Ensemble” on RTS1 this Sunday 25 September at 10.50 am

The programme was filmed in the port of Rolle during a catamaran excursion for beneficiaries of the Clair-Bois Foundation in Geneva. Discover our sailing activity through this beautiful report, which will be shown next Sunday at 10:50 am on RTS1. It can be watched at any time on “Play RTS” – and also in German (SRF1, mitenand) and Italian (SRI1, insieme).

The programme

As the RTS website states: “Switzerland is home to half a thousand charitable institutions. Through their commitment, these charities encourage solidarity and promote sustainable development of society and the environment. The programme “Ensemble” invites you to discover them week by week. (ew)
