14-yo Canadian is Youngest to Swim Great Lake, Raising $90K for Cancer Kids

As Annaleise Carr left the water Sunday, she became the youngest girl ever to swim the 32-mile (52 km) crossing of Lake Ontario, besting her long-time hero Marilyn Bell, who made the first such crossing in 1954 at the age of 16. Her fundraising goal of $50,000 to benefit a camp for kids with cancer was exceeded Sunday while in mid-swim, when she received a single donation of $10,000 to buoy her spirits.
