We “Move4Kids” – When Kilometers Change Lives!

One goal: giving children new perspectives.

The "Move4Kids Foundation" in Appenzell
…aims to make a meaningful difference right here. The Move4Kids initiative seeks to establish a nonprofit foundation in Appenzell dedicated to supporting children and young people for whom movement means far more than recreation or athletic ambition. Movement represents strength, confidence, and perspective—and for some children, simply the hope of experiencing a sense of normal life.
The current fundraising campaign is designed to prepare the launch of the Move4Kids Foundation. Once a starting capital of CHF 50,000 has been reached—according to the registration requirements of the Canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden—the foundation will be formally established.
Move4Kids specifically supports young athletic talents who are determined to pursue their path, as well as children and teenagers who rely on physical activity to stay healthy—or who need hope to become healthy again. Particular attention is given to children and adolescents facing serious illnesses, especially cancer, as well as those living with physical or cognitive disabilities who depend on special support.
The goal is to create opportunities, open doors, and provide meaningful perspectives for the future—making wishes possible.
An extraordinary challenge. A clear goal. A powerful message.
As part of a fundraising campaign in April and May 2026, Andreas Scherrer—multiple Ironman finisher and long-distance gravel cyclist (June 2025, Nordkapp to Appenzell)—is taking on a new and extraordinary challenge: a gravel bike journey from the westernmost point of Africa back to Appenzell.
Roughly 6,000 kilometers and more than 28,000 meters of elevation gain—day after day in the saddle. Driven by endurance, mental strength, and a clear inner purpose, the goal is to create the financial foundation required to establish the Move4Kids Foundation and to enable long-term projects supporting children and young people who need help in the areas of movement, sports, and health.
This athletic challenge symbolizes perseverance—the very strength that children facing serious illnesses, especially cancer, must summon every single day.

One Goal in Motion – CHF 100'000
The current fundraising campaign deliberately pursues an ambitious goal: CHF 100,000.
CHF 50,000 provides a solid foundation for the formal establishment of the Move4Kids Foundation. Every additional franc raised beyond that threshold, however, creates immediate impact—supporting additional projects, targeted initiatives, and direct assistance where it is needed most. CHF 100,000 is more than just a number.
It represents the combined strength of many individual contributions.
It is a promise not only to begin—but to create lasting impact.
Not only to help—but to open new opportunities.
Not only to offer hope—but to sustain it for the future.
You support moves more than just Kilometers - it creates new possibilities.
Whether it’s a few cents or a Swiss Franc per kilometer or elevation gain, or a freely chosen fixed contribution—every donation within this fundraising campaign helps make the foundation a reality. It will support promising young talents, enable movement-based projects, and provide direct assistance to children facing health challenges.
Movement strengthens the body.
Movement strengthens the mind.
And sometimes, movement gives what is needed most: HOPE.
This campaign makes movement measurable—and its impact tangible.

About Us - the "Move4Kids" Initiative
Our Foundation
The Move4Kids Foundation is built on the belief that movement creates health—and health opens new possibilities. We specifically support young athletic talents who demonstrate commitment, discipline, and potential, but whose development may be limited by structural, health-related, or financial barriers.
Our focus is on sustainable development, where athletic performance and holistic health go hand in hand.
Our Mission
We create fair opportunities for ambitious children and young people in sports.
Move4Kids supports training opportunities, health guidance, and individual development—with the goal of strengthening young talents over the long term and positively shaping both their athletic and personal futures.
Movement. Health. Opportunity.
Our Responsibility
We care deeply about supporting children whose lives have been disrupted by serious illnesses—especially cancer.
In such situations, movement can provide strength, stability, and hope. Move4Kids is committed to creating meaningful, health-promoting opportunities for these children and supporting them on their journey back to strength and confidence.

Transparency and responsibility
We regularly post updates on our projects, their progress, and how donations are used on our blog. We fully comply to all applicable data protection regulations. For the Move4Kids Foundation, transparency is not just a promise - it is a core principle clearly anchored in our foundation's mission.
All funds are dedicated exclusively to supporting young athletic talents and helping children facing cancer and other serious illnesses. We intentionally operate with a lean structure and minimal administrative overhead. The foundation is organized on a voluntary basis. Our goal is clear: your contribution should make an impact where it matters most—with children and young people.
The central promise of «Move4Kids»
All donations are used exclusively for the foundation’s defined purpose. Minimal administrative costs, no unnecessary bureaucracy—everything is focused on promoting sports, talent, and health. The Move4Kids Foundation stands for the highest level of transparency.

Our team - Board of Trustees
The Core Team of the "Move4Kids" Foundation: family-Oriented People and Experienced Athletes.
The allocation of funds is overseen by a dedicated Board of Trustees made up of experienced and responsible individuals from the world of sports. Bruno Koster, Olympic artistic gymnast (Barcelona), Chatrigna Scherrer, world and European champion in vaulting, as well as Migg and Andreas Scherrer contribute their experience, values, and personal commitment.
They are people with families, a grounded mindset, a strong sense of responsibility, and a genuine desire to give something back.
PathFinder-Consulting AG, based in Appenzell, supports the project as a patron partner, accompanying the initiative on its journey toward establishing the foundation and creating a lasting impact for children and young people.
Follow us during the journey -
After one journey comes another.
The West Africa bikepacking project is not a one-off adventure – it's a starting point. It symbolizes perseverance, courage, and responsibility – values that also define the Move4Kids Foundation.
Each stage reinforces the message: movement gives strength – especially to those children who face particular challenges in life. The experiences, encounters, and inspiration gathered are directly incorporated into new initiatives. Move4Kids strategically uses such projects to raise awareness, connect people, and generate sustainable funding for the support of young sporting talents and children with cancer.
Our vision doesn't end at the finish line.
After every journey, we develop new projects, new ideas, and new fundraising initiatives. Athletic challenges are intentionally connected to a social mission – authentic, personal, and focused on long term impact.
