Supporter Jim Meier Swims English Channel to Benefit Search

2010 August 23

We are honored to announce that Jim Meier, a long-time friend and supporter, has designated Search as one of two beneficiaries of his fundraising swim across the English Channel at the end of August.  An avid swimmer since childhood, Jim has twice circled Manhattan in 2005 and 2006. 

Jim says: “While I like to test my limits, the fact that my efforts will benefit a great cause is crucial. When I swam the race around Manhattan Island, donations of so many on my behalf were the boost that kept me going for 8 ½ hours when fatigue was urging me to quit. The Channel is easily twice as difficult as Manhattan and the swim is likely to take me twice as long…I am asking you to keep me, and Search, going. Your contribution now will help me make it to France.” 

If you would like to support Jim with a gift to Search, please click here.  Don’t forget to select “on behalf of” under Donation Dedication and enter “Jim’s Swim.”

We all wish Jim the best of luck for a successful journey!
