Channeling Care: August 2010

Channeling Care for Cancer

We have joined our love for the water to help those battling cancer. All of us have swam a solo crossing or a member of relay across the English Channel.

Come follow us swim around Manhattan, NY and later across Long Island Sound, all for a good cause.

St. Vincent's Medical Center Foundation, www.swimacrossthesound.org helps patients and families battling the burdens that cancer has faced them.

5 days until Swim Across the Sound

It's almost here, the Swim Across the Sound.

17 miles across Long Island Sound, Port Jefferson to Captain's Cove, Bridgeport CT.

We have a new member to our team, speedy, young Julia Green. Julia is Marcia's daughter, so the genes are in place and we are looking forward to handing the reins of Open Water swimming to the next generation of swimmers.
