Raleigh Relay: A round island swim

It was the year 1992, Raleigh Kuala Lumpur embarked on a remarkable quest to swim across the Malacca Straits - an incredible 60 kilometers in total; all in the name of raising funds to send Malaysian youths to Raleigh EXPEDITIONS around the world. 

    20 years on, 

                  we are back. 

Same objectives, BIGGER challenge. 

Record-breaking-BIG. 

Next April, collaborating with the Ministry of Youth and Sports Malaysia, we would attempt this 183,727 feet feat featuring some of the fittest (not to mention bravest) swimmers around.



Update 7/11/12:

So why do we do this?

‑        To fundraise in preparation to send more Malaysian youths to Raleigh Expeditions (Tanzania, Costa Rica, Borneo etc.), which focuses on youth development through community, environment and adventure projects.

‑        To reach out to the public, introducing Raleigh Kuala Lumpur and it’s locally run activities and projects.

‑        As a platform for Raleigh ex-venturers to contribute back to society.

How do we do it?

    We need YOU to join us to form a crew of 56 for this super-swim of 56 kilometres in part of Malaysia’s 56^th year of independence.

     We are also seeking corporate organizations who are interested in providing us with financial or any other forms of support to help us in achieving our objectives.
