Andreas Jonsson

Andreas, 31, is a sales manager in Sweden and also runs an orphanage in Nepal. With his father Håkan and the International Aid Work of the Swedish Church, they are promoting a fund-raising campaign called LET MORE TURN FIVE (in Swedish: Låt Fler Fylla Fem),” collecting money for the benefit of children of the townships of Cape Town, South Africa. The proceeds are directly invested in the organization Philani, founded in turn by Swedish doctor Ingrid Le Roux. Andreas says that their participation in the Antarctic Ice Marathon has given them considerable media attention in Sweden that has significantly benefited their campaign. He has run two other marathons -- the Great Wall Marathon in China and the Rome Marathon.
