Hey everyone, my new Journey starts! I will be swimming 52km across lake Ontario in Aug 2013. NO small feat! just lots of swimming! I will need all the help I can get to achieve this journey with your donations for my cause. I've already started swimming more then "less is more" ...My swim is dedicated to Mother who is fighting cancer, so I am also trying to raise up to $10,000 as my net goal to be donated to RVH cancer treatment center in Barrie on the completion of my swim.
Please spread the word and my link to your friends to check out my new web page http://josefsjourneyswimacrosslakeontario.blogspot.com/ to follow me on my journey and maybe make a donation. Donations can be made either by my donate Pay pal link on my web page, or to me in person when you see me, or just e-mail me at ironjosef@hotmail.com for details how to donate to me direct. Thanks in advance.

Lake Ontario Marathon Swim
I have some good and bad news!
The good news is I am finally going to tell you what my big event is!
The bad news is I had to postpone from doing my event this summer 2012 to the summer of 2013
My challenge is that I will be swimming a marathon swim 52km across Lake Ontario from St Catherine's to Toronto in 2013 I originally wanted to do it this coming summer of 2012 but since found out that there is so much more to organizing this kind of challenge to become a sanctioned swim, with the most difficult part being finding boats and equipment and need to raise funds to meet this challenge....the easy part in all this is the swimming! ;) ...If anyone is interested in sponsoring me or wants to donate to my cause contact me directly at ironjosef@hotmail.com to find out how you can donate.

First volunteer
I had a good meeting today with my friend Jeff and just hooked my first volunteer for my big event! Jeff is the race director to a few half marathon races in the area including the Barrie Half marathon and the Base Borden Half which I did last month and will be a great asset to my event! Woo Hoo!
This works well for me as he has experience and connections to help me go through the right avenues to find sponsors and donations! as well as local media connection to get my event out to the public. With him on board I shouldn't have problems getting the support I need with more volunteers and getting donation to help me with the event and specially help my charity.
It won't be long before I launch my event!
