The Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation has launched a charity donation drive for the upcoming Calvi to Monaco Water Bike Challenge, with proceeds going towards water safety.
The Calvi to Monaco Water Bike Challenge, a highly-anticipated and publicised event being held on the 13^thand 14^th of September by the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation, has officially opened its donation drive.
An online fundraising page is now active with proceeds going towards water safety awareness and anti-drowning programmes sponsored by the foundation worldwide. Last year alone, the foundation reached 60,000 people, teaching them to swim or showing them water safety techniques, saving countless lives.
The Calvi to Monaco Water Bike Challenge is a 24-hour marathon event where two teams will compete to make the journey from the Corsican port city of Calvi to the port of Monaco in the least amount of time. The Princess heads up her own team, Serenity, and her brother, Gareth Wittstock, is captain of the opposing team, Notorious.
The Serenity team consists of Princess Charlene, French swimmer and Foundation Ambassador Yannick Angel, and Australian cyclist David Tanner. Notorious will have Gareth Wittstock, General Secretary of the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation, Mathew Bennett, the Guinness World Record holder for rowing across the Atlantic with the fastest time, and former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight and lightweight champion Conor McGregor.
