In case you hadn't heard yet, I'm planning on swimming around Manhattan Island again this summer, but this time, rather than taking on all 28.5 miles on my own, I'm going to have a great group of English Channel swimmers swimming along with me. The 6-woman Channel Gals relay is headed to Manhattan on June 12, 2010. Look out, Big Apple!
I am humbled and excited to be swimming with some of the biggest names (and nicest ladies) in Channel swimming. My teammates are: Marcia Cleveland, Meryem Tangoran-Masood, Elizabeth Fry, Marcy MacDonald, Bonnie Schwartz, Erica Moffett, and Margaret Peterson. (There are 8 team members in total as we have two alternates in case of illness or injury.)
We are raising money for St. Vincent's Medical Center Foundation via Swim Across the Sound. St. Vincent's helps patients and families battling the burdens that cancer has forced upon them. You can check out the Channeling Care blog for more information or to donate to the cause. We have a lofty goal of $17,500 to raise, so even if you can just contribute a few bucks, every little bit helps!
Thanks and stay tuned for more details!
