    Hey everyone,

This year, I’m once again cycling across the Alps, putting European hospitality to the test. And since I don’t want to be the only one benefiting from it, I thought I’d dedicate this tour to sea rescue — to people whose survival depends on crossing these borders, while having a much harder time doing so than I do with my German passport.

As always, you can follow my updates at @nellyon.tour.

And to everyone still looking for a birthday present for me: donating here would be amazing! ❤️

Thank you all!

Hallo ihr Lieben,

ich fahre dieses Jahr mal wieder mit dem Rad über die Alpen und lasse mich von der europäischen Gastfreundschaft überzeugen. Um von der nicht nur selbst zu profitieren habe ich mir gedacht, dass ich diese Tour der Seenotrettung widmen möchte - für Menschen, deren Überleben davon abhängt diese Grenzen zu überschreiten, die es gleichzeitig aber sehr viel schwieriger haben, als ich mit meinem deutschen Pass. Updates gibt's wie immer unter @nellyon.tour.

Und an alle, die noch n Geburtstagsgeschenk für mich suchen: hier spenden wär mega! ❤️

Danke euch!

Frequently asked questions

Your donation saves lives. It goes directly to Sea-Eye e.V., an organisation for civil sea rescue. Sea rescue is still carried by civil society. Sea-Eye goes where Europe looks away and closes itself off. Every euro helps us run missions, protect lives and make the humanitarian crisis in the Mediterranean visible.

No. Listing your campaign and using the provided texts, image material and other resources is free of charge. Costs may arise from your own activity itself. We cannot reimburse or pre-finance the organisation or implementation of your fundraising campaign. Small donations are also very welcome. If you first cover your own expenses, such as a flea-market stall fee, and then donate the remaining proceeds or part of them, that is great too. To generate more donations, we recommend displaying the Sea-Eye x YOU posters at your activity and telling people about your campaign.

Once you have started a campaign on this website, you will automatically see different ways to share it. This helps you gain supporters and draw attention to your campaign. If you want to share your idea before launching and motivate others to join in, take a look at Tips & Tricks. We have collected message ideas and arguments that may fit you and your idea.

Every euro raised saves lives. If your fundraising goal is exceeded, that is wonderful: it means more missions can be carried out and more people can receive help.
If fewer donations come in, the money raised still helps. Every contribution makes a difference. Just as important are the stories, your commitment and the lived solidarity we are showing together this summer.
