The South African Madswimmer team, which departed for Nepal on 19 April to tackle the highest swim in history, remains resolute amidst icy weather and low oxygen levels to complete the task. They are currently in limited satellite communication with the outside world, but SMS messages indicate that they are making swift progress to claim a Guinness World Record for South Africa for the highest swim. It must be higher than 6 370 m above sea level to break the previous record. In a display of kindness, they have been giving out warm jackets to the children braving the harsh climates along their path. This simple act of generosity not only warms the children, but also ignites hope within their communities. Madswimmers are also collecting funds for the Red Cross Children’s Hospital and Universitas Academic Hospital’s Adolescent Oncology unit. Supporting these critical efforts helps bring essential medical care to young patients in need. Photo: Facebook
