Hi!
My name is Shewli, I am 10 and a 5th grader from Colorado. This swim is dedicated to Breast Cancer survivors like my grandmother.
I would like to show my support for their courage and strength in overcoming this dreadful disease. As the race is on to find a cure, my aim is to spread the idea of education and prevention of Breast Cancer amongst family, friends, schools, and community groups.
Summary of my event
The South End Rowing Club's 14th Annual Alcatraz Invitational Swim on Saturday, September 12, 2009.
This is a mile-and-a-quarter journey that tests the heartiest athletes. I recently started competitive swimming and I am ready to swim the distance.
My interview with Breast Cancer survivors
I interviewed 2 breast cancer survivors who I know and their primary message is
“Early detection is the key to fight Breast Cancer, speak to your doctor about conducting regular preventative screening tests, and get a mammogram as per recommendations”.
Thank you for visiting my blog and helping me spread this important message. Watch out for updates from me of pictures and my experiences of the swim.
Rock on and join me in going the distance.
