Team Microsoft
Gillian, Hamlet, Jo & Michael
Hello friends and family 👋
We are Team Microsoft: Gillian, Hamlet, Jo and Michael. Four passionate cyclists and work colleagues at Microsoft in Switzerland. Together, we want to cycle for a good cause. In the office, on our indoor trainers, for 24 hours straight.
What initially sounded like a crazy idea has now actually become reality. On October 17/18, 2024 we’ll ride 13 iconic tours over 6 alpine passes, covering 350 km and 12,000 meters of altitude. But not just the four of us - we’re joined by colleagues from Microsoft all over the world!
In collaboration with the Summits4Hope foundation, whose founder Gilbert Fisch is an enthusiastic cyclist too, we developed the charity event letsRIDE4KIDS 2024 - ICONIC 24. Open to all sporty friends and colleagues throughout the company.
We are raising money for water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) projects at primary schools with catastrophic hygienic conditions in Maputo, Mozambique. Poor hygiene can lead to serious health problems. Students could miss classes and fall behind in their education. Worse still, girls often drop out of the education system altogether due to menstrual-related school absences.
Since 2020, Summits4Hope, in collaboration with WATER FOR WATER, has ended the sanitiation nightmare for more than 10,000 children in 6 schools. And after the pandemic, 95,000 children were able to go back to school early in 2022 thanks to the funding of hygiene measures.
Now it is time to support two more WASH projects for 3,000 children at the EPC Catembe and 9 de Agosto primary schools. These water, sanitation and hygiene projects are essential for the health and future of these children.
At Summits4Hope, 100% of all donations always go directly to the project and finance the construction and renovation of toilets, easy access to fresh water and education about personal hygiene.
Your generous support has a direct impact on the well-being of the children in Maputo. And it motivates us to push our personal limits and keep going.
From the bottom of our hearts: THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION ❤️
Your Microsoft team, with
Gillian, Hamlet, Jo and Michael
