10/07 – Catalina Channel Swim – 8 Hours
Jane – “I have been giving her messages. She is doing great. At least she is still talking to her crew. The water has gotten a little colder. Which means she is getting closer.”
Well hopefully this has cuaght the early risers over in the states, this is the hard yards part of the swim , so if anyones got some good motivational stuff for the young lady, please feel free to send them and I’ll pass them on.
Update – thanks for the comments and messages, they have been passed on to Jane and Katie, and yes they really do help, when she has “lost her humour”

Michelle,
You go girl! Your fellow Nike employees are so proud of you. There is a bubble of prayer around you from my women’s group. The incredible accomplishments you do in aiding the research for breast cancer has inspired us all. I know I sound like Dori, but just keep swimming. Love you!!
