Bigger Than Us Update!

March 27, 2014/1 Comment/in Events, News/by Upwithdowns

Bigger Than US

27 March 2014.  Prieska.   Roche Schoeman has completed 1411kms of the mighty Orange River which is in full flood.   Two dams of still water are behind him but the most challenging leg of the non-stop, unaided  expedition is yet to come……… the dangerous, churning waters of unknown obstacles through Upington leading  to the Augrabies gorge.

With the flow as it is today, Roche will complete his swim at Alexander Bay, almost a month before the expected date.  What has continued to motivate Roche is the incredible support and hospitality offered by ALL South Africans along the river.

This is an initiative to create awareness and raise funds, to help people with special needs reach their full potential and provide support to the parents and families. All proceeds go to the Up with Down’s Adult Home Fund. To learn how you can help, visit: Adult Home Swim Fund
