Three Orinda Aquatics Swimmers are holding a fundraising Swim-a-thon on July 17 to benefit children in Zimbabwe.
Will Nagle, Max Cruz and Christian Markey are organizing the event, to be held at 11 a.m. at Soda Aquatic Center and benefits the J. F. Kapnek Trust Foundation. For only $35, the foundation can feed, educate and provide health care for a child in Zimbabwe for an entire year. According to the foundation, children born in Zimbabwe have a one-in-10 chance of not surviving to their 10th birthday. The swimmers say they want to improve these children's lives because no child should have to worry about their basic needs.
