Celebrate
Janet Corley Day on Saturday, July 18th!
What
does it take to survive cancer? It takes a great medical team
and years of research to find the best treatment. It also takes
the love and support of family, friends and coworkers. Just ask
Janet and Dan Corley-- Janet is a two time breast cancer survivor,
a swim teacher and a mom to three lively teenagers.
MTSC
Masters and the staff at Sea Star Swim School are so inspired
by Janet, they will celebrate “Janet Corley Day” on Saturday,
July 18th.
And
how does a swim team honor one of its members? By swimming, of
course! Janet, Dan, their children, coworkers and teammates will
travel to Chicago, and “Team Janet” will swim in an event called
“Swim Across America ”. Swim Across America, Inc., [SAA] is dedicated
to raising money and awareness for cancer research, prevention,
and treatment through swimming- related events.
Janet
was first diagnosed in 2000. Even with a recurrence of cancer
last fall, she continued to teach her classes at Sea Star--even
though she was undergoing an arduous course of chemotherapy, never
missing a day.
Please
support Janet and everyone else who has been affected by cancer:
give generously to Swim Across America. To donate, visit our website
at www.swimacrossamerica.org/MTSCMasters_TeamJanet!
Our
teachers at Sea Star have sweetened the pot a bit by offering
a silent auction. Each teacher has donated a 1/2 hour private
lesson, which will go to the highest bidder. The auction information
is located in the lobby at Sea Star, and the bidding is fast and
furious. Bidding closes on Thursday, July 2 at 5:00 p.m., so don't
miss this chance to get a private lesson with your favorite teacher!
We
are also offering a commemorative T-shirt for $15. Profits will
go to Swim Across America. These shirts are great! It's a black
shirt, with the MTSC logo in pink and white on the front and the
Chicago skyline and "Swim Across America 2009" on the
back. We are taking orders now until Thursday, July 2nd. Support
our team and buy a shirt. You can download
an order form here or stop by the Pro
Shop for details!
