Day 16 of Advent

Here’s a fun winter fact:

Snow isn’t actually white! ❄️
Snow appears white because its tiny ice crystals reflect all the colours of sunlight equally, but in reality, snow is translucent. This scattering of light gives it its bright, white appearance.

Breaking boundaries with Antoni

This weekend, to celebrate his 18th Birthday, Antoni travelled from Geneva to Tampa to race in a half-Ironman event. This grueling physical and mental test pushes athletes to their limits as they complete a a 1.2-mile (1.9 km) swim, a 56-mile (90 km) bike ride and a 13.1-mile (21.1 km) run. Athletes train for a considerable period of time in order to accomplish such a feat, and we are proud to report that Antoni’s final time was 07:06:28! This accomplishment represents considerable levels of discipline, fortitude and resilience, qualities that will serve him well in the future. He was encouraged from the sidelines by Ignacy, who also flew to Florida to support his brother. Bravo, Antoni!
