Welcome to the website of Swimathon! Swimathon is a four-week community fundraising campaign culminating in a community event that, this year, will NOT be held in and out of water in a pool due to the pandemic situation, but ON SOLID GROUND. During the campaign fundraising “ambassadors”, including me, are inviting you to be part of an exciting initiative and support a good cause. In addition to taking on a four-week, personal challenge in a sport activity of choice, targeting a minimum distance (see categories below), we're also fundraising to help these programs turn into a reality.
I moved to Ráday street in Budapest in 2009, at the beginning of my career. Back then I was not happy that life took me there. Surprisingly, I got to love the city pretty quickly, thanks to the amazing atmosphere of the 9th district. I found my new home!
In 2020 my life changed a lot again, but not because of Covid. I joined the Ferencváros Civilian Foundation as a curator. I’m contributing with my marketing experience to help local projects and communities. During Swimathon, I’m walking and hiking with my unruly terrier, Rupert and collecting money for the Foundation.
