19 more days...

OK. Now we're getting down to the wire.  Good news today - "Brownie's on the River" has agreed to come on board as a sponsor (thanks to the help of our own Dave Draper).  Brownie's has been our after swim meal spot for several years - they have always been friendly and supportive and now it's official.  Please check them out - they are an institution on Lake St Clair just north of Nine Mile Rd. It is also a great place to party on the weekends.  Just a great spot - with excellent food. 

Also new this year is Premier Nutrition. They offer food and beverage products that are great-tasting, have compelling functional benefits and appeal to a broad range of people pursuing healthy lifestyles, including old guys swimming across lakes.  We will be carrying their products on board and using them during the swim.

Just wanted to put another picture in here about why I do this.  Rickie is my guy - and my hero.  He is starting to get into swimming himself - and recently did back to back lengths of the pool in 25 seconds.  I was extremely impressed.  He is going with us again this year on the boat - and he can't wait.  The picture shows the Detroit Athletic Club pool - one of the finest clubs in the country.  Before moving to Atlanta, I swam probably 2000 miles in that pool.  It was my therapy when we learned about Rickie's cf.  In the beginning you just don't know what the disease is like or what it will mean.  So I swam - a lot. Great exercise, great therapy, and if you're lucky enough to be at the DAC, great pool...

I'll report soon on the other swimmers - assuming they want to be reported on.  More later.
