Thank You, South End!

Thanks to everyone who attended the Swimming to France English Channel Benefit party last Friday at the South End Rowing Club. Kim Howard did a great job of putting together a fantastic party. The raffle was a success, the turnout was phenomenal, the food was fantastic and everyone loved the chocolate fountain, chair massage and the tequila fairies and studs!

3 weeks from today I leave for London! Tomorrow is my last long swim. 10 hours in the bay starting at 5 a.m. I am a little bit nervous, but I know when it is finished I will feel like I am truly on my way to France.

Hi Jessie,
Sorry we had to miss the fundraiser, but you'll be pleased to know that Christine and I had our own First Friday Cook Islands and we though about you!

I hope you have:

1. all the energy you can muster
2. have the best looking patrol
boatmen
3. the paparazzi take your photo,

Good luck, and my thoughts and good wishes are with you!

Jessica,

I am the paparazzi. Your crossing will be photographed in detail. You are and will be beautiful.
