In addition to sponsoring the good cause, 2getthere also wanted to protect fading hairlines with fashionable bathing caps.
Singelswim: join the cause!
On June 17, our brave and big-hearted collegues Henry Raekers and Wouter Boessenkool will take the plunge into the Utrecht Singel to raise money for a good cause: support research into the muscle disease FSHD. In addition to sponsoring the good cause, 2getthere also wanted to protect our colleagues fading hairlines with fashionable bathing caps. The bright orange color caps, branded with 2getthere logo, should ensure they are also easy to recognize amongst all the other swimmers!
2getthere has contributed a base amount and is doubling the contributions made by colleagues. Still, there is a target that we want to exceed and obviously you can help. Please donate here!
When contributing >100 Euro, the team has stated they will add your company as a co-sponsor on their page.
Singelswim History
The SingelSwim Utrecht is the only swim in the oldest canal in the Netherlands: Utrecht Singel. The idea to organize the SingelSwim Utrecht was born in 2013. In 2015 the first edition took place with a great success. Singel Swim Utrecht is a charity event entirely dedicated to collecting funds and raising the awareness of the FSHD muscle disease. The initiative is supported by the FSHD Foundation and the Foundation Muscles for Muscles.
The funds raised during the SingelSwim Utrecht are 100% allocated to the research for a cure for FSHD. The choice of the research is jointly determined by the FSHD Foundation and the Foundation Muscles for Muscles. The foundation’s objective is to draw attention to muscle diseases in general and to collecting and donating money to finance the development of better treatments of these diseases. Members of the Board of the Foundation SingelSwim Utrecht are non-paid volunteers.
