The 8
Bridges Hudson River Swim was an epic open swimming odyssey to
celebrate the mighty Hudson and the New York Harbor.
It highlights health and environmental issues of the river
to raise awareness for the work of NYOW, Riverkeeper, and Launch 5, all organizations
concerned with making the entire length of the Hudson a clean, sustainable and
safe environment for all.
From my perch along the Hudson, I witnessed the inspiring
feat of swimmers who started from the George Washington
Bridge to the Verrazano Narrows Bridge - a 19 mile journey dedicated
to highlighting environmental challenges along the mighty Hudson River.
