Swim for SHADE, Catalina Channel, California

admin — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 18:01:15 +0000

On August 26th, 2009 Kathie and Melissa are swimming across the Catalina Channel in California.

Through the years, 152 solo swimmers have crossed the Catalina Channel. This 21 mile swim in turbulent waters and unusual weather conditions … high, gale force winds; dense fog; great and swift seas; strong currents; pounding surf; treacherous rocks and reefs; and the presence of potentially dangerous marine creatures will be a challenge for Kathie and Melissa but one they are ready to tackle.

Kathie and Melissa are raising funds for SHADE Foundaiton of America to support our programs and to increase awareness of skin cancer and melanoma.

Please consider making a donation!
