Cook Strait Swim...We on!
David Edgar Swimming the Cook Strait to personally challenge body and mind.... and support kids with dyslexia.
Tokoroa, Waikato
We all face challenges in our lives, and I have faced quite a few. I take on things where I will truly be tested with the aim of learning and coming out the other end a better person. The fear of failure grips us all, but I have learned to embrace it and keep pushing forward. Well, this next one is a cracker... I am swimming the Cook Strait in two weeks (the window is 23-27th Feb...just waiting to be told the final decision on which day)... I have been wanting to do this for over 10 yrs!
So to help others who also face challenges, here is what I am going to do. Once I have covered costs for the swim I will donate all other donations to kids with dyslexia.... as I am swimming South to North I will split this between North & South Marlborough Boys Colledge in Blenheim (SI) and Tokoroa High in Tokoroa (NI). Chhee Whhoo ToksHard!
Use of funds
All donations will be used to cover the swim costs, including a professionally trained boat crew and guide, launch, fuel, and independent ratified marathon swim observer. Learning support for kids who struggle with dyslexia from North & South Marlborough Boys College in Blenheim (SI) and Tokoroa High School.
