Blair Did It!
The Cannon Catalina Challenge is over and our champion Blair made it from the icy waters off Catalina to the beach of Palos Verdes in record time! Unofficially his time should rank him third in the 100 year history of this swim.
Challenging himself physically, emotionally and mentally, Blair embarked on this experience as a lifetime milestone. Taking it to the next level, Blair decided to dedicate his efforts to raising money for not only Great Friends Foundation but the Monarch School. Blair is indeed a true champion and role model.
