Raid Amazones 2016 - Burning Heart

<p> Hello everybody,</p> <p>  </p> <p> Here we are, two friends from France (Vanessa) and Switzerland (Celine)</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Zeteam-1464038950" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/320020/ZeTeam-1464038950.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> ...and we decided to take part, this year at the Amazon Raid 2016. Why did we decide that?</p> <p>  </p> <p> Because it is a beautiful adventure, on many sides...  100% girls challenge, this is a human adventure we're looking forward to share with you all. Solidarity is the main word, no place for the "Me, myself and I" but only for the <strong>TEAM</strong>.</p> <p>  </p> <p> This is the only sport challenge that goes through the world and takes different locations each year, for girls only, the "Amazon Raid" went previously to Kenya, Guyana, Sri Lanka, Reunion Island, Mauritius, Malaysia, Cambodia and Bali.</p> <p>  </p> <p> During 6 days, all teams will have to push their limits, in various sport challenges, such as mountainbiking, trekking, running, kayak... Each morning we will have a sport challenge, and each afternoon is dedicated to the tourism/discovery of the areas and surroundings. That's how it goes with the Amazon Raid.</p> <p>  </p> <p> This is the 15th edition, and it will take us this year to California. From November 12th to 20th.</p> <p>  </p> <p> In Palm Springs area, to be exact....</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Map1-1458070460" height="403" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/291248/map1-1458070460.jpg" width="538"></p> <p>  </p> <p> The success of this unique event is explained by a concept that is based on actual values such as discovering, solidarity, and pushing your own limits further and further. Good mood is also one of the main ingredients for this event.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Here you can see the general mood that goes on during the raid's, this one was from Bali 2015</p> <p>  </p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fplayer.vimeo.com%2Fvideo%2F142489495&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F142489495&amp;image=http%3A%2F%2Fi.vimeocdn.com%2Fvideo%2F539806610_1280.jpg&amp;key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=vimeo" width="540"></iframe></p> <p>  </p> <p> In addition of the adventure, we will support a french association called "Cent Familles" (Hundred families) that takes care of kids, some of them are orphan, some of them have family problems and they have to be removed from their parents' place, and some have parents that are not able to take care of them, so the association takes the parents' role to make sure each and every kid meets the best of his abilities, and fullfill his own path and dreams.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Their website is in French only, but don't hesitate to contact us for more details about it, if you're not familiar with French language. Here's the link to them anyway : <a href="http://centfamilles.com" target="_blank">Cent Familles</a></p> <p>  </p> <p> Every extra cent will be donated to the Charity, we'll do things before, and during the Raid to raise more money for them. When you participate, you help us to reach one of our dreams AND more important, you help kids in need. On behalf of them, we can only say</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Thank-you-277-1458077587" height="171" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/291322/thank-you-277-1458077587.gif" width="212"></p> <p>  </p>
