A big heart, undying dedication, and exhausting practice are going into Stan Kurtz' daily preparations to make "the big swim" from Catalina to Palos Verde on August 4-5 to raise funds for the CLL Society. I thought you might like to see what Stan looks like "in the swim of things", so I am including this link to a very short Facebook video of him hard at work out there in the Pacific.
