Sea Star Swim School Staff
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. (Note to our Saturday class parents: Sea Star will be CLOSED on July 18th; your class fees have been pro-rated, so there will be NO MAKEUP CLASS!)
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 on www.mtscmasters.com or stop by the Pro Shop for details!
