Friday, December 9, 2011

WWW.VALORSWIM.ORG On April 13th, 2007, six intercollegiate athletes will swim a rough open water relay from the coast of California to Parsons Landing on Catalina Island and immediately return back to Newport Beach . This estimated twenty hour endeavor spans approximately fifty miles in the frigid Catalina Channel. With only six weeks of crucial training, Team Valor eagerly awaits to accomplish this once in a lifetime venture and also use their God-given talents to make a child's wish come true. Bringing this goal to fruition, Team Valor has partnered with a charity, whose purpose revolves around granting children with life-threatening medical conditions their ultimate dream. The team of six will be comprised of three women and three men: Lindsey Eastman, Huntington Beach, CA; Melanie Lentz, Apple Valley, CA; Angie Rodriguez, Camarillo, CA; Louis Boehle, Ontario, CA; Garrett Miller, Las Cruces, NM; Barrett Wilson, Las Cruces, NM; & male alternate, Bobby Eastman, Huntington Beach, CA. Biographies of each swimmer, information on the swim, and their mission statement are available on their website (www.ValorSwim.org) with links to their Blog and MySpace page. Current sponsors include: Speedo, South Shores Insurance, David Blair Photography, UGG Australia, Advantage Inks & Coating, Market Broiler, and Quality Toyota Automobile Dealerships. In addition, an exclusive ticket to witness the event firsthand will be auctioned off on eBay. For contribution information please view ...
