Crossing for Prevention
Crossing for Prevention 2022 is a historic swim by Deaxo Croes between sister islands, Bonaire and Curaçao. This extraordinary swim happens on Saturday, the 19th of November 2022. Deaxo’s journey covers approximately 53 KM in the Caribbean Sea, from the west coast of Bonaire to the east point of Curaçao.
Deaxo Croes is an Aruban Open Water swimmer. In 2018 he swam from Venezuela to Aruba together with five other swimmers to fulfill a dream and social cause to raise cancer awareness in Aruba. This time, Deaxo’s dream is to include Bonaire and Curaçao in his cause to raise cancer awareness and to promote the colossal work tirelessly done by the local cancer foundations. Together with a team of professional kayakers, doctors, nutritionist and other team mates, Deaxo strives for human passion and excellence for a cause that could touch each one of us. Cancer causes about 1 in e every 6 deaths worldwide. Cancer is the 2nd leading cause of death only preceded by cardiovascular disease.
Crossing for Prevention is an event to raise awareness and seek generous financial support from the local communities to the cancer foundations.

Sportology Dutch Caribbean Foundation
Crossing for Prevention is an event by Sportology Dutch Caribbean Foundation.
Sportology Dutch Caribbean Foundation (“SDCF”) is a non-profit organization and was founded by Rudy A. Croes and Charlene Leslie to help Deaxo Croes complete his second mission, which is to swim from Bonaire to Curaçao with the aim to raise awareness for cancer prevention. In addition, the goal is to support 3 foundations that help prevent and early detect cancer by among other things, promoting donations. They are Fundacion CORESA in Aruba, Kanker Fonds Bonaire and Fundashon Prevenshon in Curaçao.
SDCF’s first project is to help with the logistics, marketing, fuel, accommodation and equipment for Deaxo and his team through sponsorship for a historic event called Crossing for Prevention to take place on November 19th, 2022. SDCF started with 3 board members but quickly grew with 4 volunteers making the board of SDCF consist of 7 people. Each board member has a role in making sure this day is a success and that Deaxo remains focused on his training and on the objective of Crossing for Prevention.
Even though SDCF was founded because of Deaxo, the purpose of the foundation is to promote the practice of sports, including swimming, physical and mental health and the happiness of people of all age groups residing in Aruba and elsewhere, to improve their quality of life and well-being in favor of optimal health. Following Crossing for Prevention, SDCF is excited to help more athletes across the Dutch Caribbean.
