When they travel to Europe, most Americans fly. Kiersten Rosenberg, however, will swim. The 2002 Mt. Lebanon High School graduate will attempt to swim the English Channel between June 30 and July 6 before she ventures on to Paris, Munich and Milan on an extended vacation.
Rosenberg will not be alone in her adventure or travels. Former Villanova University teammates, Tori DeLollo and Trista Felty, will make the journey, too.
As a relay team, the three will cross the Channel in an effort to raise funds and awareness for Multiple Sclerosis, a disease with which their friend, Lauren Schulman, was diagnosed in August 2007.

PLEASE NOTE: On Blog-Lebo, we do not publish anonymous comments. You must put your name to your words. Include your full name in the text of your comment (usually at the end), and you’ll be fine. Or post from a Blogger account having a public profile that includes your full name. Either way will work. But if you don’t include your name, or if we have reason to believe the name on your comment isn’t authentic, we will not be able to publish your comment.
Why must I use my full name?
When you post a comment on Blog-Lebo, you are making a public statement. Therefore, we require that you accept responsibility for your words. Just like at a public meeting of the school board or municipal government, when you stand to speak on Blog-Lebo, you must state your full name. That way, everyone will know who is speaking, and you will know that you’re responsible for what you say.
