Getting to Goal: Doug Swims the English Channel

In honor of his 60th birthday, Doug “Clydesdale” Comstock is celebrating. Not with a relaxing vacation in the Caribbean. Not with a party and a big cake. Doug is celebrating with a solo swim across the English Channel! The 18-hour journey will take place sometime at the end of July, 2015 (due to the changing tides, Doug must be on standby for 7 days straight and be ready to head into the water with only 3 hours notice)!

Back in the 1980’s Doug worked on a fishing boat in Alaska. During the week he was fed well, but on weekends he was homeless and hungry. That experience left Doug wanting to give back and help those that are hungry, so he created this fundraiser to benefit Foodshare and East Granby's Friend to Friend Food Pantry.

Don’t forget, your donation of just $30 will allow Foodshare to feed someone for an entire month! 100% of the donations will be going to help hungry people in our community and are tax-deductible.

Doug is incredibly passionate about getting to goal his motto being “achieve anything at any age”! With your help, his $10,000 goal is definitely achievable!
