Karen Gaffney's Latest Accomplishment

[alisonzmom]

I can not tell you how impressed I am with this latest swim by Karen Gaffney! Having taken a swim or two in October in the waters of Boston Harbor I am here to tell you guys, that water is COLD!!!! True there were generally adult beverages involved with my dips, it didn't change how cold the water is - 56 degrees that particular day. Here's the link to Boston Globe's coverage:

There's also a very short video clip there too.

Saw and met her at the Buddy Walk yesterday !!!

She is SO poised, so beautiful, she gave a very moving & motivational speech before the walk and was available for pictures and greeting throughout the day ! It was exciting !!

Karen Gaffney came here. We were to have a speaking event for her but a snowstorm came instead. It was too bad because I wanted to meet her.
