Email sent to some local bloggers:
The Hands Across the Burghosphere project should get started with a
local project -- and I've got a great one in mind.
This guy needs help with his web site.
This guy needs help with the mission.

It mixes health, youth, energy of action, local young people and more.

I'm a swimmer. I coached at Canon-Mac even, for a short time, in the past. But, I don't remember this person there then. Point being, I have no relationship with either person. It isn't my pal.

His window for the English Channel swim in July 18 to the 28, but

London July 16.
So why not just hold a spaghetti dinner or a hoagie sale?
'The English Channel is the Mt. Everest for swimmers,' Brent said.
'You swim it because it's there. No one in Pennsylvania has ever done
it before.'
It's that same determination that Bill sees in Marissa as she works
every day to improve."
