		<description><![CDATA[Dear Friends,

It was an honor to represent you this morning in Swim Across America&#8217;s 1.5 mile swim from Greenwich to Stamford. Your generosity made me one of the top 5 &#8220;earners&#8221; for this event.

As I struggled to put on my new wetsuit, I said hellos and traded swim stories with new friends. We were together in preparation for next Saturday&#8217;s Swim Across America event, and we were all anxious to make [...]]]></description>
