The Prime Minister’s wife Michelle Muscat will be swimming between Gozo and Malta to raise funds for the Marigold Foundation and Special Olympics Malta, the Department of Information said. The activity will be held on 27 June.

Launching the activity, Mrs Muscat said that although she is not an athlete she will be going for the swim full of courage. She has been training at the Ta’ Qali pool as well as in the sea for the past months.

Special Olympics athletes will be joining Mrs Muscat at Comino.

The Marigold Foundation offers support to organisations to further their work within the comminuty. Part of the funds to be raised will be to help Special Olympic participants take part in the World Summer Games in Los Angeles in July.
