Annaleise Carr: Marilyn Bell Park

Camp Trillium Dept: Even after the brutal 27-hour ordeal, a goggle-clad Carr smiled wide as she laid hands on the rungs of a ladder that would lead her out of the lake she had just conquered. Carr s hero has always been Marilyn Bell, who made the first Lake Ontario crossing in 1954 at the age of 16, according to The Star. Carr began with a goal of raising $30,000 for Camp Trillium but exceeded that last week. She then set a new goal of $50,000 and as Annaleise Carr touched the wall at Marilyn Bell Park shortly before 9 p.m. Sunday, she became the youngest girl ever to swim the 52-kilometre crossing from Niagara-on-the-Lake. Carr embarked on the swim to raise money for Camp Trillium a summer camp for children with cancer. She entered the water Saturday around 6:15 p.m. and set a brisk pace at t, but faced major setbacks overnight. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
