Subject: Message for coach Jenny
Hi
I'm not sure who I am speaking to as secretary
now - when my daughter, Jade, swam with Millennium Squads 3 years ago it
would have been Stephanie Giles but I'm sure she stepped down after we emigrated
to Canada.
Maybe you remember me - Jane Scognamillo
(?)
I was hoping to get a message to Jenny - Jade's old
Millennium Squads coach. I thought she (and some of Jade's old team mates
who I notice are still at the club) may be interested to know that
Jade, whom Jenny coached from the age of 9, will be swimming solo 19.2km on
July 12th 2008 across Lake Erie, one of the North American Great Lakes, starting
in the USA and finishing in Canada. She is doing this in support of a world
famous Toronto hospital, Sick Kids. She will set a new record as the
youngest ever swimmer of Lake Erie and maybe even break the time record too - it
should take her around 8-9 hours non-stop.
When I see Jade swim 6.5km in 1hr 52mins in
training now, it's hard to remember her as a little girl just 5 years ago,
thrashing and splashing her way through a 25m sprint!
You can see Jade on the Aspirants page of
www.soloswims.com and on the Sick kids
website as a fund raiser if you are interested in more info.
I wish Millennium Squads all the best and hope all
your swimmers are having fun and fulfilling all their sporting
dreams!
Jane Scognamillo
