Happy (Belated) Thanksgiving!

I hope you all have tons to be thankful for.  I know I do!  (I am sorry for being a little late, but I am thankful everyday, so hopefully you can forgive me)
I am thankful for my great family who I love very much, including my beautiful daughters who continually make me proud and happy; and my husband, who not only puts up with me, but supports my crazy goals and then asks "What's next?"
In terms of my Lake Swim this year, I am thankful for a great year of training and thankfully the injuries held off (until after).  The miles were more fun thanks to my BMSC and LOST mates!  Also thanks to kayak supporters from Peninsula Kayak Club, as well as Andrew, hubby Bill and daughter Cadence for keeping me safe on the water.  Thanks to my family for not killing me because of the sacrifices they had to make while I put in the time. Also to those who helped on the home front, (Terri in particular for watching the girls), thank you!
I hope my crew knows how much I thank them for all they did to help me.  They made the adventure more special and I can never quite thank them enough.
Thank you also to many who supported me in so many ways, coming out to events, sending me well wishes, buying T-shirts and raffle tickets etc etc
Thank you to those who made donations to Lake Ontario Waterkeeper and to LOW directly for helping protect our great Lake.  I am very thankful to have Lake Ontario so close by and to be able to enjoy the Lake so often!
Above and beyond the swim though, I really have an amazing circle of amazing people in my life! Thank you!!
XOXO  Melanie
