On October 24, Jeanine and Herb Riband will take on the Lausanne Marathon with her Nordic walking poles, turning every step into an opportunity to make a difference!

As a member of the International Women’s Club of Lausanne, Jeanine is supporting the club’s fundraising efforts for Blu Spring (https://bluspring.org/), a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the mobility, independence, and dignity of children with disabilities in Zambia.

Many children in Zambia lack access to a properly fitted wheelchair and the support they need to use it safely and comfortably. Blu Spring works with local partners to provide specialized pediatric wheelchairs, physiotherapy, and follow-up care, helping children participate more fully in their families, communities, and education. Additionally, Blu Spring has set up projects to provide underserved mothers with micro-loans and skills training, enabling them to become financially independent!

Your donation can help put a child on the road to greater independence. By supporting Jeanine’s Nordic walk, you can help Blu Spring reach more children and give them the opportunity to explore their world, access education, and build a brighter future.

Every step counts, and every contribution makes a difference. Thank you for walking alongside Jeanine and Blu Spring!
