So grateful for the adventures we continue to have since Nikki decided to do her 1st relay those years ago… what a journey so far… proud recipient of CSA’s feat of endurance award for her 2019 EC solo, holder of Triple Crown, Ice Triple Crown, 6 ice miles, and now Mencap Marvels have successfully crossed the channel 20 times in relay. We salute our homegrown 2025 soloist Rory Kaye and Marvel soloists Nick Boaz and Julia Pritchard tonight at the CSA dinner and look forward to seeing our friends from the swim community that has taught us so much… thanks everyone see you soon # # #
