welcome to my blog!

My name is Angel More and I am 16 years old. I'm climbing mountains, biking, swimming open water, and doing triathlons to raise awareness for Children International. Children International is an organization that supports children in poverty and I want to raise money to $1 million for Children International’s HOPE scholarship fund—to support 5,000 teens around the world who want to further their education in high school, college, or technical school, so they can escape the cycle of poverty. Follow my blog for updates about my adventures and fundraising.

let's end poverty for children worldwide!

Angel's HOPE

A swim in England (with and without my wetsuit)

I did one mile swim with wetsuit and one without (Suits v Skins Challenge) on the same day in Henley on Thames, a picturesque small town about 35 miles from London. The river had many beautiful swans.
The day started with a drizzle which although typical of UK, was the first such day since the past 5 days were sunny. The sun came out as the day progressed. The events were well run. The swim was downriver with almost no current. Angel did it both times in 24:47/24.46. I was the youngest to do this swim event so far!
Participating in the event took some logistics as Henley is not easily reachable by public transport. We took the ever popular Uber to Heathrow and rented a van the prior day. We rented the wetsuit from a firm that was to deliver it in event location but they called to say they couldn't. They said they would courier it by afternoon Saturday and didn't. Luckily blue-seventy had a booth at the event and had a suit that fit.
I  placed first in the Junior Swimmer category.
