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 did her third swim from Golden Gate Bridge to Bay Bridge last Saturday. She placed 5th in Female Skin. She had to stop 2 times to let big ferries pass during her swim, it was good to have her kayaker right next to her to help spot these ferries. Their wake and their existence in the water while swimmers are present is quite dangerous!
On Sunday, Angel did the Lake Tahoe Sharkfest for the second time. She won the first place in youth 11-12 age group. The water in Lake Tahoe was very choppy and the organizers had to relocate the route which added to the confusion and delayed the starting time. Angel now has 3 Sharkfest wine bottles to enjoy when she turns 21!
Amber made her first attempt to swim Lake Tahoe Sharkfest after she did a half mile open water swim in San Francisco Bay prior Thursday. The choppy water tossed her around like a cork (Angel was flipped over by the waves three times herself!) and the rescue jetski brought her back to the shore. She was the first one to get back to the shore and got lots of kudos from the spectators just for trying the swim!

Amber summited Mt. Whitney

Yesterday, Amber (7 years old) summited Mount Whitney! She is now among the youngest kid to do the climb. Amazingly there were 20+ kids on the hiking trail, basecamp had about 9 kids (5 - 14 years old) who were waiting for their parents to summit. Amber was such an inspiration to many of them.
I was super proud of myself because it was my first time carrying my own 25lb backpack. .
Mount Whitney is the highest summit in the contiguous United States and the Sierra Nevada, with an elevation of 14,505 feet (4,421 m)

Today, Angel did the 1.5-mile swim from the famous island prison to the shore. The Sharkfest Alcatraz swim. There were swimmers from 43 states and 17 countries and yes India was one of the countries!! A total of 1,055 people swam today.
This time I got the honors of collecting the “Sharkfest wine bottle” on behalf of Angel winning the 1st price in her age group. Angel plans to celebrate today’s win when she turns 21!! Yes, she is saving the wine bottle!!
Tomorrow, Angel is scheduled to swim again WWS Alcatraz monthly. This will be her 23rd crossing.
