East Cobb resident to repeat ‘mega swim’ for 9/11 non-profit

East Cobb resident swimming challenge

Last year James Whitcomb, an East Cobb resident, swam 10 miles at the Mountain View Aquatic Center to help raise money for Tunnel to Towers.

He got pledges exceeding $20K, and recently let us know he’s asking for the same this year as he repeats his “Mega Swim” challenge.

This year, however, he’s extending his time in the pool to 13.1 miles—a half-marathon—when he pops into the pool at 6:30 a.m. Friday.

Tunnell to Towers is a non-profit that assists seriously injured first responders and military veterans with mortgage-free homes and other housing assistance.

If you’d like to make a pledge for Whitcomb’s swim can do so by visiting www.swim2help.org or https://dogood.t2t.org/swim2help

Whitcomb also will be live-streaming his swim on YouTube.
