Please Support Me in SurfAid's Swim 4 Humanity

Thanks to all who supported me in this effort, donating over $700 to SurfAid. That's a lot of mosquito nets!

Did you know only $10 will provide a mosquito net to protect a family from malaria for 5 years?

Swim 4 Humanity is a fundraising event benefiting SurfAid International. Hosted in eight U.S. cities on the west and east coasts from March to May 2010, monies raised will go towards SurfAid's humanitarian programs. Prior to the event, participating teams and individuals get sponsored by friends and family for a 30-minute swim at one of the swimming pool venues. Please click here to sponsor me.

SurfAid International is a non-profit humanitarian organization whose aim is to improve the health, well-being and self-reliance of people living in isolated regions connected to us through surfing.

Dawn at the beach. Air almost 50 degrees, water slightly warmer. Full moon hanging over the ocean, sun rising from the hills. Swell gently lifting my surfboard a little closer to the sky as it passes by on its way to touch the beach. Icy water trickling down the front of my wetsuit. Feet going numb from the cold despite neoprene booties and thermal socks. Two dolphins in the lineup chase silver fish, who leap into the air in a swirling mass, sparkling in the first rays of the sun. Then "pwwwfff!" as another dolphin surfaces and exhales not a dozen feet from me, before gracefully sliding back under the water. What a great way to start the day!
