MessageDear Edna

Thank you so much for your kind words. It is very humbling to know that I am inspiring you in preparation for your swim in 2008. I am muddling through collecting information from as many sources as possible, putting it into practice and putting it onto this web site for others seeking the same.

The best advice I have received so far is that you must get in the sea and get used to the cold water, not just train in a swimming pool. Most people fail because of the cold, not the distance. I swum 2 miles in the sea at 8 Degrees Centigrade for 50 minutes last weekend and suffered mild hypothermia. That was an interesting experience!

I wish you all the best with your swim, and will keep you updated through the web site. Please feel free to e-mail me if you wish.

Kind regards and very best wishes.

Hoffy.

Just a quick line to wish you all the best

success in your swim in July. I am making an

attemt in August 08, and i have been monitoring

the site closely. You have been an inspiration to

us who have been dreaming of such a task for a long time. I t is a great cause. My two mottos I

have taken in life, after completing 7 NY

marathons 2 dublin MARATHONS 1 london and 1 Sandiego (ALL FOR KIDS);if things start to go a little wrong for you as they did me in these events.

" A Winner Never QuitS" And A Quitter Never WinS" (and I know that you sound like a winner)


"I Can and I Will" (You Can and You will)

I hope to do a similar site like yours as I raise money for Our Ladys Hospital for Sick Children In Crumlin.Ireland.
