The reason for the gift, he says, is to support the life, health, and happiness of the MIT community for years to come. Zesiger is shown here at the 50-meter pool he fought for and financed for the people of New York City.
Fitness is a lifestyle.
It gives you energy, clarity, relieves stress, is good for the body, and great for the mind. A lover of the outdoors since he was four and his family spent two months camping in Montana, Zesiger always hiked, fished, and rode horses, but it was not until he quit smoking at age 27 that fitness became a lifestyle. He climbed 15 peaks in Switzerland, then several in the U.S., including Mts. Washington and Rainier. You climb Rainier roped, and just for fun, the guide charged into the rope and dragged us down the mountain.
