A huge earthquake struck Ecuador on 16 April, killing 660 people and injuring over 4,600. As the largest disaster in the region since Haiti in 2010, the earthquake has directly affected 250,000 children.

Almost 4 months later, the situation has not improved. With many more tremors stricking the same region, many children continue living in temporary shelters. More than 560 schools were affected, leaving thousands upon thousands of children out of school.

To help, four amateur swimmers would like to raise funds for UNICEF ECUADOR APPEAL: For every 2 pound donated we will swim 1 minute! It may not sound a lot but for us amateurs, it is!!!  

Please help us with this good cause. Children in Ecuador will thank you forever!
