One of Donner's senior swimmers, Alex Harris, has taken on the challenge of swimming the English Channel in order to raise funds for Columbus Parks and Recreation. This a challenge which presents obstacles, both mental and physical, for which he must be prepared. We appreciate and thank you for your support of Alex in this endeavor.

For more information on the English Channel swim, see the FAQ's section. We also plan to update the News section with important information before, during, and after the swim (such as when Alex is beginning his swim, how far he has swum, and any other interesting details). Furthermore, please see the Links section for links to Alex's letter, an article and video from The Republic, and a website that can be used to track Alex's boat as he swims the channel.
