Subject: Swimming from Catalina to End Polio Now!
To: Melissa Blaustein

Hi Friends and Family,

This Thursday just before midnight, I will jump off of a boat and into pitch darkness at Catalina Island. From there I will attempt to make the roughly 20 mile swim back to shore, completing the third and final swim in my Triple Crown of Open Water Marathon Swimming Challenge. I’ll be swimming in support of the Rotary International Foundation’s Polio Plus program to end Polio all around the world.

A forgotten disease can teach a very valuable lesson. It may have been decades since we’ve seen a case of polio in the US, but around the world this horrible illness still exists and we are just two countries away from eradicating it all together. As a controversial debate on vaccines rages on, polio can be a reminder that together we can stop a disease dead in its tracks by providing necessary preventative care.

Please consider supporting me and this important effort at the link below.

All donations are matched 3 to one by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, so any amount goes a long way!

I hope you will support My Swim by making a contribution today.

I’ll be sharing a spot tracker link the morning of the swim – thank you for your support!

Warmly,
Melissa
