Today I met Kim Chambers, the first women to swim all the way from the Farallon Islands off of Northern California, which is a well-documented white shark feeding ground, to the Golden Gate Bridge.

It's a 30-mile swim that took over 17 hours to complete.
One of my friends, Melissa, was on Kim's crew during the swim. She brought her by my office after she appeared on our radio talk show, Forum, this morning.
It was a real honor to meet such a brave person, who also is humble and so able to make her experience emotionally accessible to those of us who would never be able to do such a think. Her radio interview was actually quite amazing.
