An important Thanks already to someone who is very special to me. Every step of the way he as helped me in getting closer to my Enlgish Channel Goal, with such increadible (!!!!!) enthusiam and love I know that my dad, Steve Donelon will be and has been one of my strongest supports on this Journey.

He bent over backwards a few years ago to establish a year-round club for the bowvalley, and once again he is helping me undertake this huge responsiblity!!

So, I hope you know Dad - I wouldnt be able to fufill all these dreams and goals I have without you -

THANKS DAD!!!!!

My tide is from August 26th to September 3rd.
I have signed on offically with Andy King, and have heard wonderful things about him.

I have also had the opportunity to meet 2 other incredible Canadians who crossed the Channel - Bill Borger and Brent Hobbs.

Bill crossed the channel in 2001, although i cannot remember the specific time, it was a success. When I met with him i became very inspired. He was full of good advice and inspiration. Before bill's plans to swim the Channel he was not a swimmer, which goes to show that anyone can do anything.

I also met Brent Hobbs, who crossed just a few months ago in July (08) - With it still fresh in his mind he had lots of good things to say. I was overly impressed with his support and enthusiams which i will keep in mind during those extra long training sessions.

I THANK both of them GREATLY, and I'm sure they will continue to be apart of my future in helping attain these goals.
