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!

 I woke up late and rushed to the harbor at Santa Cruz. I was not nervous, even though I had planned to swim 6 miles. Luckily, I was able to reach on time, and did not hold up the group. On the boat ride to the jump location, it was so foggy that I could barely see a few feet in front of me. There was a lot of sea life activity: seals, dolphins, and a lot of sardines. I thought to myself, this is going to be a scary swim. I leaped into the water, and began swimming. As soon as I started, my fears slowly disappear, and the fog lifted. It felt great to be the water, which was warm, with cold undertones (I don't know what that means either). My strokes were powerful, and I was going much faster than usual, but I wasn't going to slow down. In 2 hours, I finished 4 miles. I kept swimming and when I looked at my watch and saw that I had already swam 6 miles, I couldn't believe it. It felt like I just got into the water. I ended my swim at 8.8 miles. 

It's really amazing that when I started swimming longer distances, like 6 miles, I would feel like it takes forever and I would be really nervous. But now, I can easily do 8 miles (and more). #improvement
