Finnish top freedivers hounding national records for charity

Three Finnish freedivers Eero Soralahti, Jussi Lehtonen and Jyri Vehmaskoski are planning to break Finnish national records in five freediving disciplines. The aim of the event is to collect donations for multiple sclerosis and leukemia patiences treatment and rehabilitation development research and break Finnish national records in Constant Weight, Constant Weight without Finns, Free Immersion, Variable Weight and No Limit.

Any funds collected to the donation account will be 100% forwarded to the Finnish Multiple Sclerosis Foundation and Cancer Foundation for research of treatment and rehabilitation methods. Medical research in Finland is of a very high standard, and this research will over time help patients all over the world. Anyone, from any country can make a donation – private citizens as well as companies.

The guys are keeping a blog where they are reporting day to day how the project proceeds. The first new national record was done today when Eero Soralahti did 61 meters in Free Immersion improving the previous record done just two weeks ago.
