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!

First Alcatraz Swim without Wetsuit

9/28/2014

1 Comment

 
Today I competed in the Alcatraz Swim with the Centurions race with no wetsuit (400 swimmers), Every swimmer dreams of making the ultimate "ESCAPE" from the historical island prison located in the middle of the San Francisco Bay! This is the swim the Anglin Brothers and Frank Lee Morris successfully attempted in their escape from Alcatraz on the night of June 12, 1962. I ranked 5th and was the youngest to swim without a Wetsuit (Female 17 Skin and Under age group), I ranked 48th (Female and Male Skin).

Alcatraz Swim with the Centurions

9/27/2014

I swam from Alcatraz to the San Francisco Aquatic Park (1.5 miles)! It was my first time swimming in the bay without a wetsuit. I won 5th place in Girls 18 and under without a wetsuit. It was cold! :)

After the race, I passed out postcards with my name and crowdfunding website to spectators and parents of my fellow athletes. They were enthusiastic about my cause and I got the word about my campaign out there (in case you don't have it yet, you can reach my crowdrise page here). 

Also, the sun was shining!

In 2012, I climbed Mt Whitney. Later that same year, I climbed Mt Kilimanjaro and I set a new World Record. It was so that my crazy hobby to set more World Records began! These are the very first achievements that got me on the map, and they are the best memories that I will never forget.

Grand Canyon Hike

9/14/2014

Amber completed the 2 day Grand Canyon North Rim to South Rim hike.
A Rim to Rim Grand Canyon (26 miles) hike has breathtaking views and the vast expanse of the canyon. There are few experiences more spectacular than seeing both the North and the South Rims at the same time from the bottom of the canyon. The hike starts from the over 8,000ft in elevation from the North Rim to the almost 7,000ft South Rim. Along the North Kaibab trail we passed the Roaring Springs and Ribbon Falls, hiked along the Bright Angel Creek, visited Phantom Ranch, dipped our toes in the Colorado River. We had a delicious dinner at Phantom Ranch. Near the Cottonwood campground along the route, we were face to face with a long rattlesnake!

We got to dip our toes in the Colorado River at the peak.  Near the Cottonwood campground, we came face-to-face with a long rattlesnake! Overall, this was a great hike and I would recommend it to everyone.

I started to swim open water swimming when I wanted to train for my first Alcatraz event. Little did I know... I ended up enjoying it more than any other type of swimming I've done so far. Open water swimming is one of the most fun things to do! I love that you can swim any stroke.  Also, I love that there are no lane lines-- you can swim wherever you want to.
