On Saturday, Sept. 18, Art Festival Weekend the Catalina Island Swim Club will have its fourth benefit swim for Pancreatic Cancer, Pancam.org.
The club will meet at 7 a.m. at Casino Point and start the swim at 7:30 a.m.
As in the past, the more hardy swimmers will swim the 2.2 miles round trip along the shore to Frog Rock; others will swim to Descanso Beach and others will just “jump in and get wet.” Following the swim will be a potluck breakfast.
Two years ago a swim club from Laguna Beach had a Catalina Saltwater Swim event for their club.
This year they decided to swim for a purpose and are joining Catalina club’s fundraiser for pancreatic cancer.
Nearly all of us have lost a friend or relative to this tragic cancer and may wonder, “will I be taken out by pancreatic cancer?”
