As you know CAP OPTIMIST is the adventure of 6 waterwomen, who will try to cross the Pacific. On a paddle board, they will connect Lima to Moorea, with the force of the arms. This extraordinary sporting expedition of more than 8000 km will be carried out at the beginning of 2023, for the benefit of sick children, organized by the association HOPE TEAM EAST.
PADDLING FOR CHILDREN is to concretize the quest of 6 waterwomen for a good cause, that of allowing our Super Optimists to continue to live their dream through sporting challenges to fight and better live the disease.
Because we all have oceans to cross and we are stronger together, we are asking for your help to achieve all these dreams!
PADDLING FOR CHILDREN is also :
– The launch of our fundraising campaign for Hope Team East:
60% of your donations will be directly allocated to the launch of the Super Optimist program program to allow these children with cancer or in remission to achieve their future sporting challenges!
The association is also developing a primary prevention program “A challenge in my school” in schools (primary in the short term) in order to raise awareness among children, from a very young age, to take care of themselves through sport, mental health and nutrition, to practice a regular physical and sports activity and to believe in themselves and in their dream.
