Margeaux Thomas’ Post

This annual Swim-A-Thon was my first glimpse into what it meant to push past limits, for a purpose greater than myself.   That year, I swam my first mile. Last year, I swam it again. Stronger, more confident. And this year, I showed up once more not just for the personal challenge, but for Viridiane’s Hope (VHCHE) and the communities they serve in rural Cameroon. This year marks the Fourth Annual Swim-A-Thon, and through this effort, we’re raising funds to build a drinking water well in the village of Mbeme, in the Southwest region of Cameroon. A well that will bring clean water directly to families who currently walk miles every day just to collect it. Funds from the Swim-A-Thon help construct wells equipped with submersible pumps, covered towers, 1,000–3,000-gallon storage tanks, and multiple distribution points life-changing infrastructure that brings health, dignity, and hope. I’m so honored to contribute again this year, alongside 100+ swimmers, families, and volunteers. Together, we swam thousands of laps and every single one matters.

That’s the real victory.
