Personal message

I am a 43 year old mother and wife with two teenage children.  I have always believed that the best way to lead is by example.  I have committed to swim 8 miles at the 2010 Midmar mile event.  I will have to swim all 8 events over the week-end of the 13 and 14 February.  I believe that I am capable of achieving this feat.  I believe that there is no such thing as "can't" and that life is meant to be filled with making a difference not only in your own life, but in the life of those less fortunate.   I never want to look back and say that "I should have...".  I believe that the poorest of all men is not the man without a cent, but the man without a dream.  Please help me to prove that age is not a limitation, but that with a sense of purpose all things are possible.  I believe in the principle of fundraising for the less privileged, but I believe that working hard makes the donation more credible as I am not simply asking you to help the needy, but to also believe in me.
