Roland Schoeman - My Story
"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." Thomas Edison
I am on a journey to become South Africa’s first 5 time Olympian. To win Gold for my country one more time. But with only 4 months until Rio 2016, I have not been able to secure the necessary financial support to cover my swimming expenses (coaches, facilities, travel and competitions). If I cannot raise the necessary funds myself, I am in danger of missing the Games. I need your help.
Although based in America for training, I've never forgotten my roots. I was offered over 5 million US dollars to swim for Qatar, but my love for South Africa has remained constant throughout my career - the green and gold is everything to me.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support me, I hope I can make you all proud in Rio.
