I am taking on a challenge I have dreamed of for years: swimming across the Northumberland Strait. Best of all, I am doing so as a fundraiser for Camp Brigadoon. 

Brigadoon's mission is to "transform the lives of Atlantic Canadian children and youth living with health conditions and other life challenges to help them reach their full potential through experiential learning, meaningful connections and exceptional fun". 

While I don't anticipate being anywhere near one of the fastest swimmers in the group, I trust my strength, endurance, and the meditative mindset I fall into as I swim to power me across the strait. 

I thank you for your contribution, and am proud that by doing something "big", I am supporting this wonderful cause.
