The challenge: Gaia Naldini
17 September 2018: The most fascinating crossing swimming in the world in the panorama of open water swimming; an Italian, European and world champion; a social purpose for the purpose of raising funds for the fight against cancer. It is a mix of emotions and good intentions that will characterize the test of Gaia Naldini, who will swim at Capri-Naples on Wednesday 19 September.
A sporting project, to conclude the test that only ten days before saw the world’s strongest talents face up, but also a social message: Naldini in fact will face the crossing especially to promote the fund raising in favor of the Ieo-Ccm foundation, which will run the proceeds of this initiative to the European Institute of Oncology.
