🏊‍♀️ Swim Around Manhattan – A challenge to pay tribute to and support firefighters' families
In September 2026, I will undertake an extraordinary challenge: to swim around Manhattan Island, some 48,5 km in open water, without a wetsuit.
This challenge is much more than a sporting adventure. Through this crossing, I wish to pay tribute to the 343 firefighters who died in the September 11, 2001 attacks, and also put my passion at the service of a cause that is particularly dear to me.
A portion of the funds raised through this fundraiser will be donated to the Ĺ’uvre des Pupilles des Sapeurs-Pompiers de France (ODP), which supports and assists the orphans and families of firefighters.
The other part will help cover the costs necessary to carry out this project: organizing the crossing, escort boat, registration, travel, equipment and logistics.
Every donation, even symbolic, will help move this project forward and support this cause.
Thank you for your support, your donations and your shares. ❤️
48,5 km. A tribute. A challenge. A cause.
Beyond Limits.
