12 Days - Lots Left
Well, the anxiety and excitement is settling in. Less than two weeks and I'll be hopping in the water to start the swim. Part of me is really nervous yet, part of me just wants to get started.
There is a lot still left to do - more training, fund raising, media, crew training, event organization... it gets a bit over whelming at times.
I just got back from Juneau. I got to talk on KINY's Capital Chat radio talk show. I wasn't happy with my first few opening statements... it's hard to put all the reason for doing this into a few short paragraphs (hence the website full of info). But once I settled in, I starting to get the message across. At the end of the show, a listener called in and said it was one of the best shows she's heard them do... so it couldn't have been too bad.
The fundraising events went well. We didn't raise as much as we'd hoped (wanted $2000, received about $1200), but as with most things with this swim, it allowed me to deal with some of my own fears. In this case, my social phobia's. It's hard enough going to a potluck dinner when you don't know anybody, but when your the guest of honor too - oh my.
Still Time to Donate
In the end, what we hoped would be a 40 person potluck, turned out to be about 20. But don't you fear - there is still time to donate!
We are about half way to our needs, so please anything you can offer to help support the Lynn Swim and crew would be great. Donate at our support page.
Documentary Crew On Board
Big news - we have a documnetary crew coming on the swim. In fact, filming has already started. Steve Kroschel and his crew will be filming the swim and interviewing people about the cause in hopes of producing a TV documentary. Steve has done films for PBS, National Geographic, Discovery Channel, etc. We are really excited to have his expertise on the crew.
