40-year-old Swiss triathlete Olivier Bernhard is 2x world champion, 5x Ironman winner, 7x Powerman Zofingen champion and 13x number one triathlete in Switzerland. After all his sports successes he took on another challenge and started coaching - first athletes and later also managers and whole boards of companies. We were able to interview Olivier in Eastern Switzerland where he participated in the World Harmony Run together with Tegla Loroupe in the spring of 2008. He tells us about the secrets of his sports career and about his main goal in coaching: “Do it with passion”. This is Episode 14 of the LIFE Voices interview series, published on the 13th of each month by kedarvideo.

Tegla Loroupe is one of the most gifted marathon runners. She is not only active in sports but also makes big steps towards peace with her Peace Races in Kenya, and as UN Ambassador of Sport. She recently worked together with Kofi Annan for a peaceful solution in the Kenyan Government. I had the privilege to meet and interview her in Switzerland where she ran a half-marathon and participated in the World Harmony Run. In this interview Tegla also speaks about her relationship with spiritual teacher Sri Chinmoy whom she met several times. - Download the Quicktime file to see the best quality of the video.

Through my connection with KidsToKids (a Humanitarian Aid Programme inspired by Sri Chinmoy) I met a very special person to present to you in this 11th episode of LIFE Voices. He is 60-year old Stephan Holderegger from Switzerland. Since his childhood he has been handicapped by a severe immune deficiency disease that destroys the lungs. Two weeks before his predicted death, he got a phone call, inviting him to the main hospital in Zurich for a lung transplant. He grabbed his prepared suitcase and jumped into the ambulance. He called all his friends and told them if he survived the operation he would open a hospital in Kenya for the poor.

Stephan got a second life and started his ambitious project right away. Not only did the hospital open in 2004 under the guidance of his partner Ruth Schäfer, but Stephan started various ventures promoting the hospital and donating organs. First he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, then he ran the New York City marathon. His English is not perfect, but his emotions all come through.
