Our Rosemead Preparatory School team has trained for a year in the cold waters of the Channel in preparation for the big event - a 6 swimmer relay from Dover to Calais over 14-19 hours.  We swim sometime between 12-17 September! 

We've had overwhelming support for our original cause for sports scholarships.  Now we want to extend our reach.  We simply couldn't 'touch down' in Calais without acknowledging the refugee crisis unfolding.  Whatever your views my be, we feel that children and families everywhere should be safe.  More than 300,000 people have risked their lives to cross the Mediterranean Sea so far this year. Over 2,600 didn't survive the dangerous crossing.  For this reason we are seeking donations to support the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). 

Founded 60 years ago to help the forcibly displaced after WWII, UNHCR has assisted tens of millions around the world. The agency protects refugees and resolves refugee problems. In their support of the current crisis, they continue to urge everyone to put human life, rights and dignity first. 

Here is the team - wish us luck!
