Sarah Thomas, 40, is an ultra-marathon swimmer who holds the current world record for the longest continuous, unassisted, non-wetsuit, swim done in current-neutral conditions. That record-breaking swim covered 104.6 miles over 67 hours and was completed in Lake Champlain (NY/VT) in August of 2017. Shortly after completing this swim, Sarah was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. She was just 35 years old. While undergoing aggressive cancer treatment, including chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy, Sarah never gave up on her dream of doing a swim that most people thought was impossible. One year after completing her cancer treatments, Sarah did just that- becoming the first person in history to complete a four-way crossing of the English Channel in 54 hours and 10 minutes. Recently, Sarah became the first person in history to complete a two-way crossing of the North Channel, from Scotland to Ireland and back to Scotland in 21 hours and 46 minutes in freezing water, peppered with giant jellyfish.

I just returned from ticket sales at Lariat Lodge. We did $260 this weekend. Thanks Chris Nims and Bob Z. Jaime sold $285 from PETS and morning club opportunities. What we really need is more sponsors. We are well below our target but can continue to sell sponsorships until splashdown. If you are willing to make some sales calls, please contact Jaime.
