CLOSE TO 11 MILLION KRONUR COLLECTED IN JUST 48 HOURS FOR REYKJADALUR POOL REVAMP, A Sp'). Those bucks ain't just drops in the ocean, they're vital for crucial improvements to this beloved Reykjadalur swimming pool, a time-honored hub for the Paralympic and Disability Support Association. Over six decades, they've hosted summer camps for kids and young adults with disabilities here, and the pool's been the heart of their activities. That old girl's seen better days, though, needin' some tender lovin' to stay safe and comfy for all.
Beyond the Initial Goal

Up, Up, and Away!
"But we ain't restin' on our laurels," they said. "Our real dream is to bag 20 million ISK. That'd be like icing on the cake, let's upgrade all the pool equipment, make it even safer and awesome for our guests."

The fundraising drive's still on, and they're askin' the public to keep that sprit goin' by headin' to sofnun.reykjadalur.is.
