Hello everyone! I know we all love the piece of ocean that we have in our homes but sometimes the real ocean, or any lake or pool, can get the best of our children. My family is looking to bring water survival training to children in our area. We have heard so many local reports of young ones drowning, and it has even hit close to home. We have created a Go Fund Me page for anyone who might be interested in helping us with this endeavor. Here is the link to the page:
http://www.gofundme.com/stop-drowning
I have also included the story of the page below. Please feel free to share this link on social media pages such as Facebook and Twitter. Any support in making this dream a reality is greatly appreciated!
Every day ten people die from unintentional drowning, and of these ten people, two of them are children younger than 14. In Cincinnati, Ohio it is not uncommon for there to be reports every summer of a child drowning or children experiencing near drowning situations. Our family knows someone who has experienced such a loss, and it is truly heartbreaking. What is even more heartbreaking is that in almost every one of these situations, water survival training could have help prevent such events. Most parents are not even aware that such training exists, but it does!
My wife, Ashley Evans, was introduced to ISR (Infant Swimming Resource) years ago, and completely fell in love with the program. ISR provides survival swimming lessons for infants and children ages 6 months to 6 years old. Ashley and I truly believe in the ISR mission, "Not One More Child Drowns" We have had our three daughters go through the ISR training program and are striving to make this service available to others in the Cincinnati area.
Ashley would like to become an ISR instructor and is committed to bringing these survival swimming lessons to those in the surrounding communities. We are seeking your support so that we can make this a reality. As a family we will pay forward this support in the form of a dollar-for-dollar, matching scholarship fund for future ISR students. If the mission of the Infant Swimming Resource "NOT ONE MORE CHILD DROWNS" resonates with you like it does our family, we thank you for joining in that mission with your gift. Please help us bring this wonderful training to the families in Cincinnati!
