About

BECOME A CHARITABLE SPONSOR BY FUNDING EVERY MILE OF OUR AMAZING ULTRA-MARATHONER: WILLIAM GARGIULLO!

 
The Lions Club Jura-Léman (from Morges in Switzerland) is supporting an extraordinary man, William Gargiullo, a 68-year-old Swiss ultra-marathoner with more than 40 years of running under his belt. He accepted to serve our current social cause by making every Km/miles runned a donation financing for perinatal bereavement, through the association www.idees-elles.org
 
Shock, sadness, withdrawal, incomprehension and guilt are often present during such a bereavement. But the variety of feelings depends on the context and the type of loss, it varies quite a bit, and there is no real ad hoc support. Therefore, with the help of specialized doctors from the CHUV (Lausanne University Hospital) and the association's committee, our social action's main objective is to financially support the creation of means, framework and adapted tools to this cause.
 
The World Marathon Challenge is an amazing logistical and physical challenge to run 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days, or 168 hours. In January / February 2023, the first marathon is scheduled to begin at Novo (Antarctica) and is followed by marathons in Cape Town (Africa), Perth (Australia), Dubai (Asia), Madrid (Europe), Fortaleza (South America) and Miami (North America).
