6th edition A Local Swim Westland
The proceeds from the 6th edition of A Local Swim Westland amount to € 1,048,856.00!
This edition of A Local Swim Westland was a great success. 795 swimmers entered the Lee to fight against the nerve/muscle disease ALS. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a muscle and nerve disorder that leads to the progressive failure of the muscles. At present, there is no treatment or medicine capable of combating this incurable disease.
The swimmers received support from many spectators along the swimming course and in the party tent. This wonderful edition was all about togetherness, sportsmanship, and fun. Together, the swimmers and sponsors raised a fantastic preliminary total of no less than €1,048,856.00.
