Edmund Fitz swim

Thank you for supporting me in this historic, once-in-a-lifetime adventure that will carry on the legacy of the 29 men lost on the Edmund Fitzgerald 50 years ago.  By helping me meet my fundraising goal, you are also helping renovate the Whitefish Point Lighthouse that safeguards mariners along Lake Superior's "Shipwreck Coast."  I was a young child who was also a competitive swimmer at the time the Edmund Fitzgerald sank.  The effect of learning the full story, it had a profound effect on my family.  As a child, I was so distraught over the idea of drowning - especially the darkness of the water and the lighthouse that was out.  Now being a swim coach, I want to not only be a role model to my swimmers, but also to help raise awareness and make sure that no lighthouse will be dark again when it is most needed.
