With eager anticipation, we are delighted to announce that Magic Pencil is diving into the Swim4Hope 2023 challenge, embarking on a 9km relay from Vevey to Cully on Wednesday, August 30th.

Yet, this is more than just a sporty splash; it’s a bold stroke for Léman Hope, a foundation dedicated to aiding young warriors in their recovery from cancer – and we are far from alone. As one of 50 teams participating in a 115km odyssey spanning four days, each stroke echoes a shared belief that the brave young cancer survivors are forces of nature.

With sails full of wind and hearts full of hope, the Léman Hope sailing programme does more than teach young people to tack and jibe. It’s the great lengths they make to empower young survivors to embrace their future with optimism and reignite confidence through the 5-day, 4-night cruises on Lake Geneva to learn new life skills.

The sailing programme offers a bespoke adventure, giving survivors a proper restart. By making friends with others who have experienced similar challenges, young people rediscover independence and stop feeling like the ‘only one’. They reconnect with life, education, and friends.

Now you can be part of this journey too! Join Magic Pencil in making waves. Donate through this link to support the challenge and give hope.
