For the third year in a row, East Cobb resident James Whitcomb will be swimming to benefit a group that assists first responders and veterans stemming from 9/11.
Whitcomb is collecting pledges that for Tunnel2Towers Foundation, a non-profit which helps first responders, veterans and their families who need assistance with housing.
He’ll jump into the pool at the Mountain View Aquatic Center on Monday, Sept. 11 at 6:30 a.m., just as he has the last two years.
But this year, he’s raised his goals.
He swam 13 miles, but wants to make it 15, with some short nutrition breaks. And Whitcomb wants to raise $30,000 again after aiming for $20,000 in his first year.
Thus far, he’s raised more than $11,000 in pledges, and is accepting them through his swim.
The public is invited to cheer him on, and hamburgers and hot dogs will be grilled for all to enjoy.
